Crowded Pit Lane

I took this photograph at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in May 2008.

It's a line of cars in the pit lane waiting for a practice session for the BRDC Historic Sports Car race to begin. Number 78 is the 1955 Jaguar D-Type of Benjamin Eastick and is chassis XKD 133, not a genuine 1955 car but apparently constructed in the 1970s using genuine Jaguar D-Type parts. I showed photographs of  this car on 11 July 2017. The car in front of the D-Type is Barry Wood's 1959 3.8 litre Jaguar-engined Lister Knobbly, and is chassis BHL 117, a car I featured on 31 October 2017. In front of that is the Cooper T39 Bobtail of John Clark who shared the driving in the one hour long race with (I think) Emma-Jane Gilbart-Smith, and I showed a photograph of this car on 13 March 2018.

Cooper T39 Bobtail

I took this photograph in the pit lane during a practice session at the VSCC's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in May 2008.

There's no number 218 listed in the programme of the event, but in the one hour long BRDC Historic Sportscars race, where cars generally have a co-driver, the programme has a Cooper T39 Bobtail number 18 with the drivers shown to be John Clark and 'tba'. I suspect that this is John Clark's Cooper, and that the lady in the cockpit is Emma-Jane Gilbart-Smith who has co-driven with John Clark in other events. I'd be grateful if someone could confirm or correct this for me.
