Friday's Ferrari

I photographed this car in the Ferrari Owners' Club area in the paddock at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992.

It's a 1951 Ferrari 212 Export Barchetta, chassis #0136E with bodywork by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan. It has a 2,563cc V12 engine designed by Gioacchino Colombo and was first owned by Bobby Baird from Northern Ireland, who with Jean Lucas finished in sixth place with the car in the 1951 Tourist Trophy race at Dundrod, winning the 3 litre class.

1939 Maserati 4CL

I took these photographs at the Aston Martin Owners Club's meeting at Oulton Park in September 1986.

The programme of the event shows car number 44 to be the blue 1952 Ferrari 500/625 of Kerry Wilson which the car pictured above quite obviously isn't. Below is a photograph of the car I took at Lodge Corner during the Historic Car Championship race.

It certainly seems to be Kerry Wilson behind the wheel, but it's a Maserati and as far as I can tell a 1939 4CL. The Maserati 4CL has a 4-cylinder inline 1,491cc engine with twin-stage supercharger and was introduced in 1939 to compete in the voiturette class of racing. The 1939 season was curtailed by the Second World War but when racing restarted after the war it gave a good account of itself alongside the Alfa Romeo 158.

1912 Clément-Bayard 8hp

This car took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in May 1987 and is pictured before the start of the Run in the Exchange Station car park in Manchester.

It's the 1912 Clément-Bayard 8hp entered by Hilda Moores of Denton, and the programme of the event had the following information about the vehicle:

1912 Clément-Bayard,

Reg: DS 7523  2 Cylinder  8 hp

(Hilda Moores, Denton, Manchester)

This two-seater was discovered derelict in 1984

and restoration is almost complete. The marque

competed in many early Grands Prix. A first for

the Manchester to Blackpool Run.

On 7 May 2017 I showed a photograph of a Clément-Bayard that I had taken at Oulton Park in 1992.

1959 Sadler FJ

This was one of the competitors in the Front-Engined Formula Junior Cars race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in May 2011.

It's the 1959 Sadler Formula Junior car of Ashley Waller, one of only twelve built by Canadian Bill Sadler, and has a 1,098cc 4-cylinder inline BMC A-series engine.

Here's Ashley Waller at Redgate Corner during the race.

1952/57 HWM Jaguar

This car took part in the HGPCA Pre '65 Grand Prix Car Race at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992.

It's the HWM Jaguar of Kirk Rylands, a 1952 HWM Formula 2 car with a 1957 6-cylinder inline 3,442cc Jaguar XK6 engine. 

1971 March 701

I photographed this car at Deer Leap during the HSCC Seldon Pre '71 Single Seater Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Historic Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1986.

It's the 1971 March 701 of Brian Tyler with a 2,993cc V8 Cosworth DFV engine, and is chassis #701-11. March Engineering was started in 1969 by Max Mosley, Alan Rees, Graham Coaker and Robin Herd, 'March' being formed using the initials of their names Mosley, Alan Rees, Coaker, Herd. The 701 was their first Grand Prix car, designed by Robin Herd, and eleven were built, three as the March Team's cars and eight for sale to customers. In the 1970 season Chris Amon and Jo Siffert drove the works cars, Chris Amon finishing in eighth place in the World Drivers' Championship but Jo Siffert didn't manage to finish in a points-scoring position in any of the thirteen races that counted towards the Championship. The most successful of the March drivers was Jackie Stewart who drove a March 701 for Ken Tyrrell's team for the first ten races until the Tyrrell 001 was available from the eleventh race onwards. Jackie Stewart finished in fifth place in the Championship, winning the Spanish Grand Prix and gaining two second place and a third place finish, all with the March 701, and retiring in the three races with the Tyrrell 001 - although he did take pole position with the car in its first race, the Canadian Grand Prix.

1990 Spice SE90C DFR

This was one of the competitors in the Group C/GTP Sports Cars race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007.

It's the 1990 Spice SE90C DFR of David Mercer and has a 3,493cc Ford Cosworth DFR V8 engine. The photograph was taken at McLean's Corner during a practice session.

Friday's Ferrari

I photographed this car at the Ferrari Racing Days meeting at Silverstone in September 2017.

It's a 2005 Ferrari F430 Spider, a convertible version of the F430 and was produced from 2005 to 2009. It has the 4,308cc Ferrari F136 E V8 engine.

1936/37 ERA R8C

This car competed in the Richard Seaman Memorial Historic Trophy Race at the VSCC's meeting at Oulton Park in June 1984.

It's the 1936/37 ERA R8C of Bruce Spollon with a 1,988cc supercharged 6-cylinder inline 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.

The table below explains the difference between the ERA A, B and C Types, and there were also three different engines available with capacities of 1.1 litres, 1.5 litres and 2 litres.

1961 Cooper T53 and 1958 Lola Mk I Prototype

These cars took part in two of the races at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2005.

On the left is the 1961 Cooper T53 of Chris Bullimore with a Coventry Climax FPF 1,500cc engine which competed in the HGPCA Pre-66 Grand Prix Cars race. Jack Brabham had won the Drivers' World Championship in 1960 with a Cooper T53 in the last year of the 2½ litre Formula, and in 1961 the Cooper works team fielded the similar, but lighter T55. The T53 continued to be used in 1961, with a 1½ litre engine, by private entrants and this car, chassis #F1-15-61 went to Hap Sharp in the USA who drove it in the USA Grand Prix in 1961 and 1962. The car on the right is the 1958 Lola Mk1 Prototype of Richard Wills that had recently been restored by Hall & Hall and which competed in the 1950s Drum-Braked Sports Racing Cars race. It was the first Lola to be built, originally powered by a Coventry Climax 4-cylinder 1,098cc FWA engine to compete in the 1,100cc sports car category, and finished in second place in its second race driven by its builder Eric Broadley. It had great success in the hands of Eric Broadley and Peter Gammon, and as orders for the car increased Eric Broadley retired from racing in 1959 to handle the production of the car. Early models, like this prototype, had an aluminium body with the later ones being fashioned in fibre glass, and around forty examples of the Mk1 were built. Richard Wills' car now has the 1,216cc version of the Coventry Climax FWA engine, rounded to 1,220cc in the programme of this meeting. 

Sunbeam Mk III

This is one of a variety of cars that were in the Pallot Museum in Jersey that we visited in May 2013.

It's a Sunbeam Mk III, a car that was produced between 1954 and 1957 and was the final version of a series of cars that started with the Sunbeam Talbot 90 of 1948, the 'Talbot' being dropped for this model. Following on from the Sunbeam Talbot 90 Mk II and Mk IIA, the MkIII can be identified by the enlarged air intakes on each side of the radiator grille and the three small portholes just below the bonnet and near to the windscreen on each side of the car, though these are largely obscured by the wing mirror on this photograph. The Sunbeam Mk III was powered by a 4-cylinder inline 2,267cc engine, and it was good enough for one of the cars to win the 1955 Monte Carlo Rally in the hands of Per Malling and Gunnar Fadum.

1970s Formula 3 Racing

The Silverstone Historic Tribute meeting in June 2004 included the HSCC Classic Formula 3 Series race for Formula 3 cars built and raced between 1 January 1971 and 31 Decenber 1980. The engines the cars were allowed to use in this Series were the 1.6 litre Lotus Twin Cam or the 2 litre Toyota units.

I took this photograph during the race at Luffield corner, and leading here is Richard Trott in his 1978 2 litre Ralt RT1 followed by Ian Smith in a 1979 2 litre Argo JM6 and Steve Maxted in another Argo JM6, this one a 1980 model. Behind them and still to round Priory corner is Tom Thornton in a 1974 2 litre March 743.

1953 Cooper Bristol MkII

This car competed in the Cheshire Building Society Allcomers' Race at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in June 1981.

It's Roddy MacPherson's 1953 Cooper Bristol MkII which has a 1971cc 6-cylinder inline Bristol engine that was derived from the pre-war BMW 328 unit. The Cooper Car Company had been started in 1946 by father and son Charles & John Cooper when the new Formula 3 class of racing for 500cc cars was introduced as a relatively simple and cheap way to go motor racing and they built a car powered by a 500cc motor cycle engine, usually a Norton or a JAP. Cooper later entered the Formula 2 class by putting a 1,100cc JAP engine into one of these cars, way below the 2 litre limit allowed, but even with the lack of power the car was still reasonably competitive because of its light weight. When the World Championship was run under Formula 2 regulations in 1952 because of a dearth of the larger-engined Formula 1 cars Cooper designed a car to compete at that level. The 1,971 Bristol engine was chosen, but the Cooper Bristol MkI (later designated the T20) could not really compete with the Ferraris and Maseratis in World Championship races and was much more successful in minor British events. In 1953 the MkII (later T23) car was introduced, having a tubular frame chassis instead of the box section frame of the earlier car and the drive train was altered to lower the driver's seat. Although a better car it wasn't much more successful than the MkI, and the following season when the new 2½ litre Formula 1 regulations came into force the car was rendered obsolete. They still soldiered on for a few years, mainly in minor British events, and then became regulars in the historic racing scene, where they're still to be seen to this day.

Here's Roddy MacPherson rounding Lodge Corner during the race.

1937 Auto Union C-Type

This is a photograph I took at Donington Park in May 2001 at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting.

It's a 1937 Auto Union C-Type which Audi had brought to the meeting together with a 1938 Auto Union D-Type and various other vehicles which were displayed in the paddock, and some of which took part in demonstration runs round the circuit. The Auto Union C-Type is pictured here on the straight between the Old Hairpin and Starkey's Bridge. 1937 was the last year of the 750kg weight formula where cars were restricted to a maximum weight of 750kg, but there was no limit to the size of the engine. The Auto Union C-Type had a V16 engine of 6,006cc situated behind the driver, but even this was not enough to challenge the supremacy of the 5,663cc straight-8 Mercedes Benz W125 with Rudolf Caracciola, Manfred von Brauchitsch, Hermann Lang and Christian Kautz finishing in the top four positions at the end of the five race European Championship series. Rudolf Hasse though did win the first race of the season, the Belgian Grand Prix, for Auto Union.

Friday's Ferrari

This car took part in the HGPCA Pre-1952 Grand Prix Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1998.

It's Carlos Monteverde's 1952 Ferrari 375 Indianapolis, one of four cars specially prepared with a 4,382cc V12 engine designed by Aurelio Lampredi for the 1952 Indianapolis 500 race. One of the cars was to be driven in the race by Alberto Ascari, the others being sold to American drivers. Ascari's car was the only one to qualify for the race, in 19th position on the grid and in the race got as high as 8th position at one point but the spokes on one of the rear wheels gave way on lap 40 putting him out of the race. Carlos Monteverde's car is chassis #2 which was sold to Gerry Grant, becoming the Grant Piston Ring Special, to be driven by Johnny Parsons, but he had a falling out with Ferrari and switched to a Kurtis Offenhauser for the race where he finished in tenth place. Danny Oakes took over the Grant Piston Ring Special but failed to qualify. Afterwards the car was sold to a partnership of four people, eventually ended up with one of them, Ernie Beutller, from whom Carlos Monteverde acquired it in 1997. I understand that the car is now with the Dutch National Motor Museum at The Hague.

1933 Barnato Hassan Bentley

This car is the 1933 Barnato Hassan Bentley Special and was driven by Keith Schellenberg in the Richard Seaman Memorial Vintage Trophy Race at the Vintage Sports Car Club’s meeting at Oulton Park in June 1975.

Walter Hassan was a mechanic at Bentley in the 1920s at the time when their 3 litre, 4½ litre and 6.6 litre cars were a force to be reckoned with, winning the Le Mans 24 Hour race 4 years in succession from 1927 to 1930. He had been mechanic to Woolf Barnato and when the Bentley Company went into liquidation and was taken over by Rolls Royce in 1931 he went to work for Barnato. In 1933 he designed a new chassis frame and built a car round this and the 6½ litre (actually 6,597cc) engine from the Bentley ‘Old Number One’ Speed Six that won the Le Mans 24 Hour race in 1929 and 1930, and this car became known as the Barnato Hassan Special. It was raced at Brooklands, but not by Woolf Barnato who didn’t race there following the death of Clive Dunfee in a race in 1932. After serious damage to the 6½ litre engine at Brooklands in 1934 it was replaced by an 8 litre (7,983cc) unit and the car was rebuilt as a single seater in 1936, in which form Oliver Bertram lapped Brooklands with it at 143.11 mph – just short of John Cobb’s 143.44 mph in the Napier Railton.

Equipe GTS Series Race

 I took this photograph at McLean's Corner during the Equipe GTS Series race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in May 2011.

In the lead is Stephen Bolderson in his 1964 MGB with the 1963 TVR Grantura of Norrie Nicoll close behind and David Russell-Wilks' 1965 MGB bringing up the rear.

1956 Jaguar D-Type

I took this photograph in the paddock at Aintree during practice at the British Grand Prix meeting in July 1957.

It's the 1956 Jaguar D-Type of Duncan Hamilton, chassis XKD 601, with which he finished in third place in the sports car race at this meeting behind the Lister Jaguar of Archie Scott-Brown and the Aston Martin DBR1 of Roy Salvadori. It has the 6-cylinder 3,442cc XK6 engine and was originally a works car, although its first race was in the white and blue colours of Briggs Cunningham at the 1956 Sebring 12 Hour race where it was driven by Mike Hawthorn and Desmond Titterington, but retired with brake problems with about 1½ hours of the race left. At the Nürburgring 1000 Kilometre race that year with the same two drivers the car again failed to finish, this time with a broken drive shaft, but at the Reims 12 Hour race Paul Frère shared the driving with Mike Hawthorn and the car finished in second place to the Jaguar D-Type of Duncan Hamilton and Ivor Bueb. The third car of the Jaguar team was in third place and fourth place went to an Ecurie Ecosse Jaguar D-Type. By 1957 the car had been acquired by Duncan Hamilton who finished in sixth place with Masten Gregory at that year's Le Mans 24 Hour race - the first four cars in that race were D-Type Jaguars with a Ferrari 315 S in fifth place.

1952 Healey G-Type Roadster

I photographed this car at the Silverstone Historic Festival meeting in August 2001.

A very rare car, it's a 1952 Healey G-Type Roadster, based on the Nash-Healey and powered by a 6-cylinder inline 2,993cc engine from the Alvis TB21. About 25 vehicles were produced between 1951 and 1953, by which time Donald Healey had teamed up with Austin's Leonard Lord to produce the successful Austin A90 Atlantic powered Austin Healey 100.

1930/23 Napier Bentley

This car took part in the Richard Seaman Memorial Historic Trophy race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in June 1973.

It's David Llewellyn's 1929 Napier-Bentley, a vehicle that he and Peter Morley 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. The nose of the car was later altered to resemble that of the Napier Railton.

1962 Porsche 804

I photographed this car in the Donington Park Museum in March 1996.

It's a 1992 Porsche 904, chassis #2, that was driven in the first two races of 1962 by Dan Gurney, and by Jo Bonnier for the rest of that season. The car was designed by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, grandson of the company's founder, Ferdinand Porsche, and has a flat 8-cylinder 1,494cc boxer engine. Dan Gurney won the French Grand Prix, finished third in the German Grand Prix and in fifth place in the USA Grand Prix to end the season in fifth place in the World Drivers' Championship. Jo Bonnier finished in fifth place in Monaco and sixth place at Monza for fifteenth place in that Championship, and Porsche finished in fifth place in the Manufacturers' Championship.

The car behind the Porsche is the 1948/49 Cisitalia 360 Grand Prix Car that was designed by Ferdinand Porsche.

Friday's Ferrari

I photographed this car in the paddock at the Silverstone Classic meeting in July 2010.

It didn't take part in any of the races but appears to be a Ferrari Dino Sports Prototype from the late 1950s. I've seen it described as a 1958 Ferrari Dino 196S replica, but only one Dino 196S was ever built and this car doesn't really resemble it. The Dino 196S is a 1959 car, chassis #0776S, and  has a 1,984cc V6 engine, but the DVLA record says that this replica is a 1958 Ferrari with a 2,417cc engine. The only Sports racing Ferraris with the 2,417cc engine were the Ferrari 246P of 1960 and the 246SP of 1961, and they were both mid-engined cars. The Ferrari Dino 246GT introduced in 1969 has a 2,419cc V6 engine.

1953 Talbot Lago T26C

This was one of the competitors in the Allcomers 12 Lap Scratch Race for Historic Racing Cars at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in June 1971.

It's the 1953 Talbot Lago T26C of T.A.Roberts and was driven in the race by Bill Morris. The Grand Prix regulations for the 1947 season allowed for engine capacities of 4½ litres for unsupercharged cars and 1½ litres for those with superchargers. Antonio Lago increased the capacity of the Talbot straight-6 engine from just under 4 litres to 4,482cc and created the Talbot Lago T26C, a car that was reasonably successful, particularly in the 1949 season when the all-conquering 1½ litre supercharged Alfa Romeo 158 cars did not compete. The programme of this event shows the Talbot Lago to be a 1953 car, but I would have thought that since World Championship races in 1952 and 1953 were run to Formula 2 regulations it is more likely to date from 1949 or 1950.

1948 Leyland Tiger PS1/1

This was one of the entrants in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1996.

It's a 1948 Leyland Tiger PS1/1 one of 13 vehicles provided new to Southdown Motor Services in March 1948 with fleet number 1303. It has a 7.4 litre 6-cylinder diesel engine and a Park Royal C32R body with sliding roof. It's chassis 471195, was in service with Southdown until 1959, and is apparently the only survivor from that batch of 13 vehicles.

1983 Porsche 956

This car was in the paddock at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007.

It's a 1983 Porsche 956, but it didn't take part in the Group C/GTP Sports Cars race that was included in the programme of events that day. The Porsche 956 has a 2,649cc turbocharged Flat-6 engine, and this car is chassis #008, the one that Jochen Mass and Stefan Bellof drove in the 1983 Le Mans 24 Hour race, leading in the early stages but retiring after 22 hours of the race.

Historic Lotus Cars

I took this photograph at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 2000.

It's a line-up of historic Lotus cars, but I don't seem to have kept a record of exactly what cars they are. The first car looks like an early Lotus Seven and the second a Lotus 18. The third car is the Lotus Mk III from 1951 which was built to compete in 750 Motor Club racing and therefore had to be based on the Austin 7, using that car's 747cc straight-4 engine. This was the first car to be named a 'Lotus'. The next car is a Lotus Type 14, more commonly known as a Lotus Elite, a car that was produced from 1957 to 1963 and had the 1,216cc Coventry Climax FWE straight-4 engine. At the end of the row is what look like a Lotus Seven Series 3 which was produced from 1968 to 1970. The car in the background is a 1958 Lotus Seven, one of five cars produced that were effectively Le Mans Lotus Elevens with Lotus Seven bodies. This particular car, chassis #421 and registration VGJ4, was at one time owned by Betty Haig who won the National Ladies Hillclimb Championship in 1960 and 1961 with the car which had a 1,460cc Coventry Climax FWB straight-4 engine.

1932 Alfa Romeo 8C Monza

This car competed in two races at the VSCC's meeting at Oulton Park in May 2019.

Shown here in the scrutineering bay, it's the 1932 Alfa Romeo 8C Monza of Chris Mann which he drove for about 10 years in the red colour of Italy until it was rebuilt recently and given this two-tone blue colour scheme as a tribute to prewar French racing driver Hellé Nice. Vittorio Jano designed the 8-cylinder supercharged engine in 1931 originally with a capacity of 2,336cc and Tazio Nuvolari's victory in the 1931 Italian Grand Prix gave it the 'Monza' name. In 1933 the engine was enlarged to 2,557cc and in 1935 to 2,905cc. As Chris Mann's car is a 1932 model it should have the 2.3 litre engine, but the programme of this event shows the capacity as 2,750cc.

Here's Chris Mann at Britten's chicane during the morning practice session.

1951 Marauder

This was one of the exhibits at the Northern Classic Car Show at the G-Mex Centre in Manchester in August 1990.

It's a 1951 Marauder, one of only 15 cars built, 12 of which are thought to still exist. The car was created by two ex-Rover engineers who based it on a shortened version of the Rover P4 75 chassis. The engine is a modified version of the 6-cylinder inline 2,103cc Rover engine and the first few bodies were made by Richard Mead of Dorridge, Solihull, later ones by Abbey Panels of Coventry. The cars were expensive, and when Purchase Tax was doubled for cars priced at over £1,000 the cost became prohibitive and production ceased in 1952.

On 29 May 2016 I showed a photograph of another of these cars that I had taken at Silverstone in 1995.

Friday's Ferrari

I photographed this car at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2005.

This car started off life in 1963 as a Ferrari 250 GTE Series III with the 2,953cc V12 engine, but in the early 1980s was rebodied as a Ferrari 500 TRC. At the time of this Donington Park meeting it was owned by Stuart Anderson and didn't take part in any of the races.

1955 Aston Martin DB3S

I photographed this car in the paddock at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999, but it didn't take part in any of the races at this meeting.

It's a 1955 Aston Martin DB3S with the 6-cylinder inline 2,992cc engine, one of the customer cars, and is chassis DB3S/108. It was originally painted in the American white and blue colours and delivered to S.H.Arnolt - the 'Wacky' Arnolt of Arnolt Bristol fame, but soon found its way into the hands of Denis Barthel who had the colour changed to British Racing Green. The car then passed through various owners including Victor Gauntlett, who later became owner of the Aston Martin Company.

1960 Bond Formula Junior

These two cars took part in the HSCC/FJHRA Silverline Historic Formula Junior Front Engine race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2018.

They are 1960 Bond Formula Junior cars, the only two that were ever built and unusual in that they were front-wheel drive cars. The project was started by Lawrence Bond and Jon Gordon-Watts in 1959, but because Lawrence Bond insisted in manufacturing the whole car himself (except for the engine) the first car was not completed till the end of the 1960 season. This car was driven by Jon Gordon-Watts in 1961, but by then FJ was dominated by the mid-engined cars and the Bond was not competitive. Chris Featherstone bought the car, together with a second uncompleted car and drawings, wooden patterns and unfinished castings. After an accident at Mallory Park in 1964 caused by a broken rear wishbone the cars were retired and stored until 1997 when the original one was repaired to take part in the 2000 Monaco Formula Junior race. The two cars were bought in 2008 by Andrew Tart who made improvements to the original car and completed the unfinished one and they competed together for the first time in 2011 at Mallory Park. Both cars have 1,100cc Ford 105E engines.

Here's Andrew Tart at Lodge Corner during the qualifying session on the Saturday of the three-day meeting. The other car was driven by Mike Walker.
