1962 Lola Mk4

This car was driven by Marcus Pye in the Maserati UK Race for Pre-1966 Grand Prix and Tasman Cars at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999.
It's the 1962 Lola Mk4 of Duncan Dayton that was campaigned in the 1962 season by the Bowmaker Racing Team in place of the Cooper T53 cars they had used the previous season. The Lola Mk4, like several of the other teams, used the 1,496cc V8 Coventry Climax FWMV engine and three of these cars were apparently built, this one being chassis BRGP42 that John Surtees drove in most of the Grand Prix races in the 1962 season.

1964 Brabham BT11

I took this photograph at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999.
It's USA driver Duncan Dayton leaving the pit lane in his 1964 Brabham BT11 during a qualifying session for the Maserati UK Race for Pre-1966 Grand Prix and Tasman Cars. The BT11 was raced by the Brabham team in the 1964 and 1965 seasons, and was also raced by privateers until the 1968 season. The cars of the Brabham team were powered by a 1½ litre V8 Coventry Climax FWMV  engine, but BRM and Repco engines were also used by other teams. The best results for the car were by Dan Gurney in the 1965 season with two second place and three third place finishes leaving him in fourth position in that year's World Drivers' Championship with the Brabham team ending up in third place in the World Constructors' Championship.
