1950 Kieft F3

This was one of the competitors in the Formula 500 class in the Lenham Storage Formula Junior Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club’s Spring Historic Race meeting at Oulton Park in May 1986.
It’s the 1950 Kieft of Malcolm Carter, Kieft being one of the most successful of the 500cc Formula 3 manufacturers alongside Cooper. There's a thriving 500 Owners Association with details of lots of the cars that have competed in 500cc racing since it started in 1946. In the background are two cars that took part in the same race, both of them Formula Junior cars. Number 4 is the 1960 Lola FJ Mk 2 of Josie Tolhurst and number 17 the 1961 Gemini Mk 3A of Bill Burrows.
