This is one of nine ERAs that took part in the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophy Race for Historic Racing Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in August 1992.
It's the 1936 ERA R8C of Bruce Spollon with a supercharged 6-cylinder inline 1,988cc 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.
