1968 Lola T70 Mk3B

I photographed this car on the straight between Priory and Brooklands during the qualifying session for the AT & T Istel Steigenberger Supersports Cup Race at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992.
It's the Hulme Automotive 1968 Lola T70 Mk3B being driven by Nigel Hulme. It has a 4,991cc Chevrolet V8 engine and was formerly owned by Joakim Bonnier, possibly chassis SL76/145.

1960s Sports Prototypes

At the Silverstone Historic Tribute meeting in June 2004 one of the races was for the 'European Sports Prototype Trophy Organised by Group4Racing'. This table in the programme showed the cars which were eligible for this race series:
Here are a couple of the cars shown in the pit lane during the Saturday morning practice session for this race:
This is the 1968 Ford F3L DFV entered and driven by Jonathan Baker. You can read about the Ford F3L (or P68) in this Wikipedia article.

This is the 1969 Lola-Chevrolet T70 Mk3B of Nigel Hulme and you can read about the T70 here.

Here are both cars at Luffield Corner during the afternoon's race being followed by the Lola-Chevrolet T70 Mk3 of Frank Sytner.
