I photographed this car on the approach to Lodge Corner during a 5 lap handicap race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in June 1982.
It's Mrs Averil Scott-Moncrieff in a 1936 Bugatti T57, chassis 57176, which has a twin overhead camshaft 8-cylinder inline 3,257cc engine. A Bugatti T57G Tank with a streamlined all-enveloping body won the 1937 Le Mans 24 Hour race driven by Jean-Pierre Wimille and Robert Benoist, and Jean-Pierre Wimille and Pierre Veyron repeated that feat in a similar Bugatti T57C Tank in 1939.
