1959 Cooper T51

This car competed in the HGPCA Pre 1966 Race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in June 2006.
It's Richard Longes' 1959 Cooper T51 and has a 2,495cc engine, presumably the Coventry Climax FPF engine that powered these cars in 1959. It seems to be chassis F2-18-59.

Bugatti Type 35B

Here's a car competing in a 4-lap handicap race at the VSCC's meeting at Oulton Park in June 2006.
It's Richard Longes at Britten's chicane in his 1927 2.3 litre supercharged Bugatti Type 35B. The 35B was the final version of the Type 35, which was the most successful of Ettore Bugatti's cars.
