Ecurie Ecosse Commer TS3 Transporter

These vehicles were in the paddock at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1994.

This is the 1960 Ecurie Ecosse Commer TS3 Transporter, on top of which are the 1959 Tojeiro Jaguar and behind it Lynx replica Jaguar D-Type. The car at the side of the Transporter is a Jaguar Lynx Eventer, an early 1990s Jaguar XJS, one of about 67 that were converted to 3-door shooting brakes by coachbuilders Lynx Engineering.

I've shown photographs of the Ecurie Ecosse Transporter twice before, on 16 October 2013 and 16 April 2015.

Tojeiro Jaguar

This car was entered in the Louis Vuitton 1950s Sports Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1997.

It's the ex-Ecurie Ecosse 1959 Tojeiro Jaguar, then owned by the Altera Corporation and driven in the race by Barrie 'Whizzo' Williams. The car was built for Ecurie Ecosse in 1959 and its first race was the Le Mans 24 Hour race that year, driven by Ron Flockhart and Jock Lawrence, but it retired after 11 hours of racing with a wrecked engine. It was rebuilt and competed in the 1959 Tourist Trophy race at Goodwood, driven by Masten Gregory and Jim Clark, but was completely wrecked when Masten Gregory left the circuit at Woodcote Corner. The car was rebuilt many years later in its current form.

On 16 October 2013 I showed a photograph of the car (and other ex-Ecurie Ecosse cars) at the 1995 Coys meeting at Silverstone.
