This car competed in the Bill Phillips Trophy Race for Standard and Modified Pre-War Sports-Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Hawthorn Memorial Trophies race meeting at Oulton Park in July 2015.
It's the 1938 Talbot Lago T120 of Richard Bradford that was driven in the race by Geoffrey Bradford. When the Sunbeam Talbot Darracq (STD) concern broke up in 1934 Tony Lago purchased the Talbot part of the company and subsequent models were identified as Talbot Lagos. The T120 has a 2,996cc straight-6 engine designed by former Fiat designer Walter Becchia, who went on to design the engine for the Citroën 2CV.
Here's Geoffrey Bradford at Druids Corner during his race.
