1964 Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe

I took this photograph of a car approaching the Knickerbrook corner at Oulton Park during the RAC International Tourist Trophy Race in May 1965.
It's Jack Sears driving the Alan Mann Racing Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe and he ended the race in seventh place. The race was run in two two-hour long heats with the winner being the car that covered the greatest overall distance. It was won by Denny Hulme in a Brabham BT8, having covered 138 laps, 69 laps in each of the heats. Jack Sears managed 61 laps in the first heat and 66 in the second for a total of 127 laps.
