March 712

This car took part in the HSCC Pre '71 Single Seater Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Historic Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1987.
It's the 1971 March 712 entered by PRW Hillingdon Motors and driven in the race by Peter Walker. I've not been able to trace a history of the car, but the programme of the event says that it had a 1,594cc engine, presumably a Ford Cosworth unit. In the 1971 European Formula 2 season the works March 712 was driven by Ronnie Peterson, and other March drivers that year included Dieter Quester, Jean-Pierre Jarier, Niki Lauda, Derek Bell and Vittorio Brambilla.

Lotus 15

The Spring Historic Race meeting at Oulton Park in May 1987 organised by the Historic Sports Car Club included a race for the Pre '60 Historic Sports Car Championship. One of the cars that took part was this 1959 Lotus 15.
The Lotus 15 was the successor to the Lotus X and you can read about the car in this Wikepedia article. According to the Historic Lotus Register 27 of these cars were built but details of the individual cars don't seem to be available.
The car's entrant is shown in the programme of the meeting as P.R.W. Hillingdon Motors and the driver as Peter Walker
Here's Peter Walker in the race just going into Lodge Corner
