VSCC Racing

I took this photograph at the start of a scratch race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Hawthorn Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in July 2015.
The blue car leading is the 1934 Frazer Nash Norris Special of Julian Grimwade ahead of, on the left, Tony Lees in the 1925 AC/GN Cognac. The red car behind the Norris Special is the 1935 Wolseley Hornet Special of Tim Greenhill with Christian Pedersen bringing up the rear in his 1932 Austin 7 Special, 'Miss Green'.

1936 Austin 7 'Miss Green'

This car competed in what was billed as a Pre-War Team Challenge race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's meeting at Oulton Park in May 2017.
It's Christian Pedersen's 1936 Austin 7 with a 4-cylinder inline 747cc engine.
The programme of the event doesn't say that it is supercharged, but it apparently has a Lancia Volumex supercharger.
Here's Christian Pedersen at Druids Corner during the morning qualifying session. The car has 'Miss Green' painted on the engine cover, but I've been unable to find out anything about 'Miss Green'.
 This is 'Miss Green' at the exit of Britten's chicane during the race. All the car was originally painted in the same dark green colour as the engine cover.
