HWM Jaguar

This was one of the competitors in the 1950s Sports Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 2000.

It's Julian Bronson's 1954 3,442cc 6-cylinder inline Jaguar-engined HWM which the programme of the event says is an ex-Tony Gaze and Lex Davison car.

On 2 January 2018 I showed a photograph of this car at Donington Park in 2001.

HWM Jaguar

This car competed in the 2¼ hour long Gentlemen Drivers Race for Pre 1966 GT Cars and Pre 1963 Sports Cars at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in May 2001.

It's the 1954 HWM Jaguar that was driven in the race by Michael Steele and Julian Bronson. John Abecassis and John Heath had built and raced their Formula 2 HWM cars since 1950 and in 1953 built their first sports car on a Formula 2 chassis. The team remained involved in sports car racing till 1956 when John Heath was killed during that year's Mille Miglia race.
