I took this photograph at Foulstons chicane during the MG Cockshoot Cup Championship Race at the Jaguar Drivers' Club's Cheshire Cats Trophy Meeting at Oulton Park in April 1987.
Chris Wright is leading Darrell Atherton and both are driving MG Midgets. The MG Midget was produced from 1961 to 1980 and according to the programme of the event both cars have the 1,250cc engine that was introduced in the MkIII in 1966. This doesn't necessarily mean that one or both of the cars are MkIII models as the 1,098cc engine of an earlier car could have been replaced by this larger engine, and the programme doesn't show the years of the competing cars.
