This is a photograph I took at
the Donington Park Museum in October 1989.

It's the last car built by
Vanwall, the rear engined 1961 Vanwall VW14, which was built when the old 2½
litre limit for Formula 1 cars was reduced to 1½ litres starting with the 1961
season, and VW14 was built to contest the 3 litre Intercontinental Formula. The
car originally had a 2½ litre Vanwall engine bored out to 2,605cc and only
contested a handful of races before development was stopped when the
Intercontinental Formula didn't catch on in Europe. Behind the Vanwall is the 1959 Scarab F1 car built by American Lance
Reventlow.
