This car competed in the Bill Phillips Race for Standard & Modified Pre-war Sports Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in May 2019.

It's Mark Butterworth's 1938 Lagonda V12 Le Mans, two of which were built for the 1939 Le Mans 24 Hour race, and afterwards several of the short chassis Lagonda Rapide models were converted to Le Mans Replicas.
