Kurtis 500S

I photographed this car at the Donington International Historic Grand Prix meeting in May 2004 where it took part in the HGPGA Race for Pre-1959 Drum-Braked Sports Cars.

It's the 1954 Kurtis 500S of Christopher Keen, and the only car in the programme of the event where the engine capacity is shown in cubic inches rather than cubic centimetres. It shows a capacity of 283 cu in (about 4.6 litres) which appears to indicate the Offenhauser 283 Chevrolet V8 Small Block engine.

On 21 June 2017 I showed two other photographs of the car at this meeting.

It's Christopher Keen's 1954 Kurtis 500S, shown in the programme of the event as having a 283 cu in (4.6 litres), presumably Offenhauser, engine.

Here's the car in the middle of the pack approaching the Old Hairpin during the race.

On 23 February 2016 I showed photographs of this car during a VSCC meeting at Oulton Park in June 2006.

Friday's Ferrari

I took this photograph at the HGPCA's Donington International Historic Grand Prix meeting at Donington Park in May 2004.

It's David Cottingham's 2-litre 1957 Ferrari 500 TRC, serial number 0682MDTR, which I have featured several times previously. The car immediately behind it is Christopher Keen's 1954 Kurtis 500, and the car on the trailer in the background is the Austin Healey 3000 MkI that Chris Clarkson and Ted Williams shared in the Gentleman Drivers GT and Sports Endurance Race.
