This was one of the competitors in the HSCC Classic Sports Cars and RJB Thundersports Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in June 2001.
It's David Beckett's 1968 Nerus Silhouette, a car that was built to compete in the short-lived Formula F100 that was intended to be a sports car version of the single-seater Formula Ford series, but it only lasted for 2 years. Nerus Engineering specialised in the manufacture of racing car components, and the Silhouette was designed by Cedric Seltzer who had been Jim Clark's race engineer in 1963/64. Only two cars were built, a third one later being built up from spare parts, and they were powered by a 1.3 litre Ford Kent engine. The programme of this event says that David Beckett's car has a 1,971cc engine.
