This car took part in the Chopard Grand Prix Cars Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1993.
Seen here at Luffield Corner during the race it was labelled in the programme as a 4.3 litre 1948 Olson, due to be driven by David Clark and Hugo Spowers. It seems to be the Olson Offenhauser that Jackie Holmes drove in the 1950 Indianapolis 500 race, qualifying in 30th place on the grid and shown as finishing in 23rd place in the race, although apparently having spun off on the 123rd of the 138 laps, the usual 200 lap race having been curtailed because of rain.
