This is a photograph that I took at the
Silverstone Classic meeting in July 2010.

It's Roger Buxton’s 1954 HWM Jaguar with which he and Michael Steele competed in the two hour long RAC Woodcote Trophy for Pre 1956 Sports Cars race. It has the
3,442cc straight-6 Jaguar XK6 engine that powered the Jaguar XK models, and also
the C-Type and D-Type. John Abecassis and John Heath had built and raced their
Formula 2 HWM cars since 1950 and in 1953 built their first sports car on a
Formula 2 chassis. The team remained involved in sports car racing till 1956
when John Heath died in an accident at that year's Mille Miglia race.
