1929 Lovell Elkhart Sprint Special

This is one of the cars that took part in the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophy Race for Vintage Racing Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club’s meeting at Oulton Park in July 1987.

It’s the 1929 Lovell Elkhart Sprint Special of Nick Leston with a 3½ litre engine, and the programme of the event had this note about the car: 

'…..another American racer with a Model A Ford engine is Leston’s Lovell Elkhart Sprint Racing Car, which also wins the prize for the car with the longest name!'

Here’s the car at Lodge Corner during the race.
