This car took part in the Bonhams Drum Brake Sports Cars (HGPCA) race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2003.
It's the 1954 Tojeiro Bristol of Tom McWhirter and has the 6-cylinder inline 1,971cc Bristol engine derived from the pre-war BMW M328 unit. There doesn't seem to be a great deal of information online about the early MG, Lea Francis and Bristol engined Tojeiros and I've not been able to find out about this car's early history. I have found, however, that it is one of the exhibits at the Moray Motor Museum in Elgin, so if I'm ever in the Inverness area I'll go and see what they can tell me about it.
