I photographed this car in the paddock at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999.
There's no information about it in the programme of the event, but it's a 1977 BMW 3.0 CSL of the Belgian Luigi Racing Team, one of which finished in eighth place in the 1977 Le Mans 24 Hour Race, winning the IMSA class. The BMW 3.0 CSL was introduced in 1972 as a homologation version of the 3.0 CS, the 2,986cc of the straight-6 engine having been increased by 1977 to 3,153cc.
