1918 Straker Squire 24/90

This was one of the cars entered in the Cheshire Life Concours d'Elegance at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in July 1987.
It's Adrian Liddell's 1918 Straker Squire 24/90 which the programme of the event says has a 3,921cc engine, though the 24/90 had a 6-cylinder inline 4,962cc engine - the DVLA record also says that it has a 3,921cc engine. The 20/25 had a 3.9 litre engine, so perhaps this car has had a change of engine at some point in its life.

1918 Straker Squire

This was one of the competitors in the Richard Seaman Memorial Vintage Trophy race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in June 1981.
It's Adrian Liddell at Lodge Corner in his 1918 Straker Squire which has a 6-cylinder inline 3,921cc engine and was raced at Brooklands by Bertie Kensington Moir. A note in the programme says this about the car:

'There is absolutely no excuse (presuming it starts, of course) for not noticing Adrian Liddel's 1918 Straker Squire, for this ex-Brooklands car has been painted with black and white dazzle paint, such as it wore at Brooklands, surely supplied to Adrian by the same firm which made the blue and green Gordon tartan paint applied to the Arrol-Johnston cars which took part in the 1912 Coupe de l'Auto race at Dieppe.'

Straker Squire

This is one of the cars entered in the Richard Seaman Memorial Vintage Trophy race at Oulton Park in June 1982.
It's a 1919 Straker Squire, a 4-litre, 6-cylinder engined car that was originally driven at Brooklands by Bertie Kensington-Moir. It was driven at this meeting by Adrian Liddell, seen here approaching Lodge Corner.
