This photograph was taken on the straight just before Lodge Corner at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies Meeting at Oulton Park in June 1982.
It's Peter Morley in the 1929 Napier-Bentley, a vehicle that he and David Llewellyn created in 1968 using a 24 litre Napier Sea Lion engine which has a 'W' configuration - two banks of four cylinders in a 'V' with a third upright bank between them. The car was originally built on a Sunbeam chassis but after an accident was rebuilt using the chassis of a 1929 8 litre Bentley. It originally had a Bentley radiator cowling, as seen in the photograph I showed on 30 September 2018 of David Llewellyn driving the car at Oulton Park in 1973.
