I took this photograph at the Vintage
Sports Car Club’s Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in
July 1987.

It's the 1931 MG C Type
Montlhery of D.H.Cooksey which has a 747cc supercharged engine. The MG C Type
was developed from a car designed for International speed record attempts and
was based on the 847cc MG M Type with a supercharged engine reduced to 743cc to
try to capture speed records in the under 750cc class H. In January 1931
Captain George Eyston succeeded in setting speed records for this class with
several runs at the Montlhery race track in France at over 100mph and the
subsequent production MG C-Type was given the tag 'Montlhery'.
