This was one of the competitors in the race for
Pre-1959 Front Engined Racing Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club’s Richard
Seaman Memorial Trophies Meeting at Oulton Park in June 1993.

It's the 1953 Cooper Bristol T23 (or MkII) of Raymond
Wilkinson and is powered by a 1,971cc straight-6 Bristol engine based on the
one in the pre-war BMW 328. The original Cooper Bristol was designed as a
Formula 2 car, but found itself involved in Grand Prix racing in 1952 and 1953
when the World Championship was run to Formula 2 regulations.
The car on the left is the 1952/57 HWM Jaguar
of Kirk Rylands and the car number 18 in the background is the 1936 ERA R14B of
Donald Day.
