This car competed in one of the races at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in August 1996.
It's the 1926/30 Hispano Delage of Robin Baker, a comparatively recent construction using the chassis of a 1926 Delage and a 500hp 1930 Hispano Aero engine of 27 litres. The programme of the event says when discussing the various entrants in this race:
'.....Robin Baker goes the whole hog by having fitted a liquid cooled Hispano-Suiza V12 Aero engine of no less than 27.1 litres to his Delage chassis ensuring lightning acceleration.'
