I took this photograph during the Invitation Scratch Race for 1950's Sports Racing Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in August 1996.

It's Ron Gammons in his 1958 Devin SS which has a 331 cu in (5,424cc) Chevrolet small block engine. There's no information about the car in the programme of the event, but when he raced the car at Oulton Park 3 years earlier the programme said this about it:
'The Devin has a chassis designed and built in Belfast by
Irishman Malcolm MacGregor, with a glass-fibre body designed and built by
American Bill Devin in California and a V8 engine by Chevrolet of Detroit. Only
about 15 were made.'
This site gives lots of information about Bill Devin and his cars.
