1954 Triumph TR2

This car competed in the '50s Sports Cars race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's meeting at Oulton Park in May 2015.
It's the 1954 Triumph TR2 of Mark Hoble that has a 1,991cc straight-4 engine which is an uprated version of the one that powered the Standard Vanguard. It started off life in Australia where it was used as a race car and is said to have competed in the 1955 Melbourne Grand Prix. The photograph above was taken as the car was waiting to go out on a practice session.
Here's the car in the pit garage being readied for the race.....
.....and here it is during the race at Britten's chicane.
