1938 Alta Voiturette

This car took part in the Maserati UK Race for Pre 1952 Grand Prix Cars at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 2000.

It's the 1938 Alta of Martin Redmond, built by Geoffrey Taylor's Alta Car and Engineering Company for voiturette racing in the late 1930s, and was driven at Brooklands by the original owner, Hugh Curling Hunter. The car has a 2 litre engine and is chassis #62IS.

SS Jaguar 100

This car competed in the Brooklands & Goddard Trophy Race at the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in June 2003.

It's Martin Redmond's 1935/38 SS Jaguar 100, driven in the race by Gordon Riseley. 198 examples of the SS100 were produced with a 2½ litre engine and 116 with a 3½ litre unit, and according to the programme of the event this car was one of the 3½ litre models. Originally founded as SS Cars Ltd, the 'Jaguar' was added with the introduction of the 100 model. In 1945 the 'SS' was dropped because of the obvious Nazi connotations.

I photographed this car at the Silverstone Historic Tribute meeting in June 2004, where it competed in the VSCC's Hawthorn Memorial Trophy & Hawthorn Spanish Trophy race.

It's Martin Redmond's 1938 Alta Voiturette which competed for the Spanish Trophy in that race. On 22 August 2015 I featured this car at the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophy meeting at Donington Park in June 2003.

Alta Voiturette

This car participated in the race for the Historic Seaman Trophy at the Richard Seaman Historic Trophies meeting at Donington Park in June 2003.

It's a 1938 Alta Voiturette and was driven in the race by Martin Redmond. The programme of the event said this about the Alta entries:

The two Altas, that of David Baldock driven by Paul Jaye (121) and the other of Martin Redmond (4), can always be expected to challenge the rest. The Alta with its very advanced chassis with all independent suspension was designed and built by Geoffrey Taylor in a small workshop in Tolworth, southwest of London.

It looks as if this particular car was the subject of an H&H auction in July this year, but didn't sell.
