1938 Alta and 1936 ERA

I took this photograph at Foulstons chicane during the Richard Seaman Historic Memorial Trophy Race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in June 1993.
Leading is Paul Jaye in David Baldock's 2 litre Alta followed by what I think is Bruce Spollon's 1936 2 litre ERA R8C. The car in the distance seems to be the ERA R12C of Bill Morris, driven that day by Tony Stephens.

Jaguars

I took this photograph in the paddock at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2003.
The car on the left is a 1950 Jaguar XK120, chassis 670128, which has the 3,442cc straight 6 engine, but I can't make out a race number on it and it doesn't appear to be listed in the programme of the event. On the right is the 1952 Jaguar C-Type replica of Nick Rossi, also with the 3,442cc engine, and is one of several cars created by Peter Jaye, this one being based on a Jaguar XK120. The C-Type took part in the BRDC Historic Sports Car Championship race at this Gold Cup meeting.

Jaguar C-Type

This car competed in the race for 1950s Sports-Racing Cars at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in June 2003.
It's Nicolas Rossi's Jaguar C-Type replica, which I've seen described as being based on a 1954 Jaguar XK140, but appears to be actually based on a 1952 Jaguar XK120 - and it's described in the programme of the event as a 1952 car. Both the XK120 and XK140 (and the original versions of the later XK150) shared the C-Type's 3,442cc straight-6 engine. The car was one of several C-Type replicas created by Peter Jaye.

On 20 June 2018 I showed a photograph of the same car at a Donington Park meeting in 2004.

Jaguar C-Type

This was one of the cars taking part in the HGPCA Race for Pre-1959 Drum-Braked Sports Cars at the Historic Grand Prix Cars Association's International Historic Grand Prix meeting at Donington Park in May 2004.
It's Nick Rossi's 1952 Jaguar C-Type replica, one of several cars created by Peter Jaye - in this instance based on a Jaguar XK120. It has the 3,442cc straight-6 engine that powered the original C-Types.
