This was one of the competitors in the HSCC Post-Historic Road Sports Championship race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's Historic Car Races meeting at Oulton Park in September 1986.
It's the 1969 Renault Alpine A110 of Sam Thomasson with the 4-cylinder inline 1,565cc engine that powered the Renault 16. The car was in production from 1961 to 1977 and was a successful rally car in the early 1970s. Although it is shown as a Renault Alpine in the programme of the event the Alpine company wasn't bought-out by Renault till 1973, so this car is strictly speaking an Alpine 110.
On 18 September 2016 I showed a photograph of this same car that I'd taken at the HSCC meeting at Oulton Park in May 1986 when it displayed what is apparently a French registration - 3093 MG 59.
