This car competed in the
Historic Car Championship Race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's Autumn
Historic Car Races meeting at Oulton Park in September 1992 and I took the photograph during a practice session.

It's the 1958 Lister Jaguar of the late Steve
O'Rourke, former manager of the Pink Floyd rock band. The car has the 3,781cc
version of the 6-cylinder inline Jaguar XK6 engine. Originally a works car,
chassis BHL2, it was sold at the end of 1959 and eventually ended up with Mike
Wright who competed with the car but wrote it off in a road accident. The
remains in time came to John Pearson who used the parts to construct a replica
which was sold to Steve O'Rourke in 1989.
