I took this photograph in the paddock at Oulton Park at the Tourist Trophy meeting at Oulton Park in 1965.

It was listed in the programme of the event as a McLaren Elva Oldsmobile M1A and was driven in the race by Bruce McLaren. The race was run in two heats each of 2 hours duration and the winner would be the car that covered the greatest distance in total. The winner was Denny Hulme in a Brabham BT8, completing 138 laps, but the 4½ litre Oldsmobile engine in Bruce Mclaren's car developed an oil leak in both of the heats and only managed a total of 30 laps.
