I took this photograph at McLeans Corner during the Williams Trophy Race for Pre-1934 Grand Prix Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in May 2011.
It's the 1931 MG C-Type Montlhery of Barry Foster which has a 746cc supercharged engine. The
MG C Type was developed from a car designed for International speed record
attempts which was based on the 847cc MG M Type with a supercharged engine
reduced to 743cc to try to capture speed records in the under 750cc class H. In
January 1931 Captain George Eyston succeeded in setting speed records for this
class with several runs at the Montlhery race track in France at over 100mph
and the subsequent production MG C-Type was given the tag 'Montlhery'. On the left is the 1928 Bugatti T35 of Bruce Stops.
