I photographed this car in the paddock at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999.
It's a Lancia Stratos HF, and with a registration number ending with an 'N' it appears to have been first registered between 1 August 1974 and 31 July 1975. The Lancia Stratos HF was an extremely successful rally car in the 1970s, winning the World Rally Championship in 1974, 1975 and 1976, and was powered by a 2,418cc Ferrari Dino V6 engine. The blue and yellow colours of Sweden seem to indicate a link to rally driver Björn Waldegård who drove the Lancia Stratos during that period.
