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.

Milano Mk1 GT

This is a car I photographed at the Historic Sports Car Club's Historic Race Meeting at Oulton Park in June 2001.
It's Mike Eagles' 1964 Milano Mk1 GT which, despite the Italian-sounding name and the apparent Alfa Romeo insignia, is an Australian car with a 3 litre Holden engine. It took part in the HSCC Historic Roadsports Championship Race.
