Vintage Sports Car Club racing 2006

I took this photograph at Britten's chicane during a 4 lap handicap race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Boulogne and Hawthorn Trophies Race Meeting at Oulton Park in June 2006.

Leading is Robert Wardale in a 1936 Riley Special closely followed by Mark Butterworth in a 1921 Vauxhall E Type Velox. Behind them is Wayne Gibson in a 1937 Singer B37 Sports.

1938 Lagonda V12 Le Mans

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.

The cars that competed at  Le Mans in 1939 had a 4,479cc V12 engine with 4 SU carburettors and finished in third and fourth places driven by Arthur Dobson/ Charles Brackenbury and Lord Selsdon/ Lord William Walleran respectively.

Here's Mark Butterworth at Britten's chicane during the morning practice session.....

.....and here at Druids Corner during the race.

Allard K3

The Allard Motor Company was only in existence for about 13 years, between 1945 and 1958, and in that time produced about 1900 cars, mostly designed to be fitted with large American V8 engines. They were never a common sight in Britain and the K3 shown below is, I think, the only one of this model that I've ever seen.

The photograph was taken at the Hawthorn Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in June 2008 and although the car isn't shown in the programme of the meeting, I understand that it's the Cadillac-engined vehicle of Mark Butterworth.

Lagonda V12 Le Mans

These photographs were taken at the Hawthorn Memorial Trophies Race Meeting at Oulton Park in June 2008. The car is a 1938 Lagonda V12 Le Mans and you can read about the car here.

The car competed in two races at the meeting and here it is at Britten's Chicane during the Brooklands & Goddard Trophies race being driven by the owner, Mark Butterworth.
