1964 Milano GT Mk1

I took this photograph at the Foulstons chicane during the Saturday practice for the HSCC Historic Road Sports Championship Race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2004.

It's Mike Eagles in his 1964 Milano Mk1 GT which is an Australian built car with a 6-cylinder inline 2,998cc Holden engine. Only about 30 of these cars were built and behind Mike Eagles is the 1962 Milano of Justin Murphy.

HSCC Historic Roadsports Championship

These four cars competed in the HSCC Historic Roadsports Championship race at the HSCC's meeting at Oulton Park in June 2001.

There are three Alfa Romeos and a Lotus. On the far left is Justin Murphy's 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider which was produced from 1962 to 1966 and has a 4-cylinder inline 1,570cc engine. The yellow car next to it is  the 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ of Nick Savage which was produced between 1959 and 1962 an has a 4-cylinder inline 1,290cc engine. Next to that is the 1955 Lotus Mk VI of Stewart Couch which is the first production model that Colin Chapman made and was available in kit form for customers to install their own engine. About 110 were built and they were designed to be fitted with various engines, this one having the popular Ford 1,172cc 4-cylinder inline side valve unit. The blue car on the right is Peter Shaw's 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint, produced from 1954 to 1965, and has the same 1,290cc engine as Nick Savage's car.
