1990 McLaren MP4/5B

This is one of the cars that I photographed at the Donington Park Museum in September 2014.

It's a 1990 McLaren MP4/5B, a redesigned version of the MP4/5, which was powered by a 3,493cc Honda V10 engine and was driven that season by Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger. Ayrton Senna won six of the thirteen races, and with two second place and three third place finishes won the World Drivers' Championship with 78 points. Gerhard Berger had two second place and five third place finishes to earn 43 points and ended up in fourth position in that Championship. McLaren won the World Constructors' Championship with 121 points, ahead Ferrari with 110 points.

1929 Lea Francis

I took this photograph at a classic car show organised by car dealers Gordon Ford of Stockport in July 1987.

It’s a 1929 Lea Francis with what the DVLA record says is a 1,479cc engine. A search of Lea Francis models doesn’t show any with that size engine, so it’s probably a Lea Francis 12 which had a 1,496cc engine. There's a Lea-Francis Owners' Club for owners and enthusiasts.

1955 Vanwall

This is a photograph that my brother took in the paddock at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in September 1955.

It's the 1955 Vanwall (#VW2) that was driven in the race by Harry Schell. He qualified in fifth place on the grid, but retired after 16 laps with a broken universal joint. The race was won by Stirling Moss in a Maserati 250F.
