This is one of the cars that took part in the
Richard Seaman Memorial Trophy Race for Vintage Racing Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club’s meeting at Oulton Park in August 1992.
It’s the 1929 Lovell Elkhart Sprint Special of
Nick Leston with a 3½ litre engine, and the programme of the event had this
note about the car:
‘The Lovell Elkhart and the Dodd are both
American-type racers with Model A Ford engines, but the former has a pushrod
conversion head.’
I can’t find out much about the car, but it
seems that Nick Leston was still competing with it a couple of years ago.
