This is one of eight ERAs listed as competing in the Richard Seaman Memorial Historic Trophy Race at the VSCC's meeting at Oulton Park in June 1981.
It's the ERA R8C of Bruce Spollon with a straight-6 supercharged 1,496cc engine. The car was originally built for Earl Howe with a B-type chassis as R8B but was rebuilt to C-type specifications before the Second World War. It was drastically modified in the early post-war years with a D-type chassis and streamlined bodywork, but Bruce Spollon returned it to its pre-war specification after he had acquired the car in 1977.
On 30 April 2017 I showed a photograph of this car at Oulton Park in 1987.
