I took this photograph in the paddock at Oulton Park at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies Meeting in June 1973.
On the left is the 1936 Frazer Nash BMW of R Newton which competed in a race for Vintage PVT and Pre-war Historic Racing Cars.. The Frazer Nash BMW 319 of that period had a 6-cylinder inline 1,911cc engine, though the programme of this event says the engine capacity of this car was 1,960cc. To the right of that car is a 1952 Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica which has a 6-cylinder inline 1,971cc engine based on that of the BMW 328. This car is chassis 421/100/164 and its original owner was Col. Hal O'Hara Moore. It has the chassis from 421/100/152 which was wrecked in an accident in 1951 and its competition history reads as follows:
Rallye Soleil Cannes 1952 - Winner; Rallye Soleil Cannes
1953, 1954; Tulip Rally 1952, 1953, 1954; Liege-Rome-Liege 1952 - DNF; RAC
Rally 1952, 1954
