I photographed this car at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007 where it may have taken part in the Group C/GTP Sports Car race, but wasn't listed in the programme of the event.
It's a 1989 Spice SE89P, built by the Spice Engineering company of Gordon Spice and Ray Bellm which began in 1984 by using Tiga sports cars in the C2 class of the World Sportscar Championship. By 1989 they had progressed to the C1 class where the Spice SE89C with a 3½ litre V8 Ford Cosworth DFZ engine competed against cars like the Jaguar XJR-9 and Porsche 962. The Spice SE89P was designed for IMSA racing, and the above car has a Pontiac V8 engine which I've seen described as both 6.1 litres and 6.6 litres.
