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.
