MG NE Magnette 'Aramis'

I photographed this car at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007 and although it bears the racing number 144 it isn't listed in the programme of the event.

It's a 1934 MG NE Magnette and appears to be the car that won the RAC Tourist Trophy Race that year, driven by Charlie Dodson, at the Ards circuit in County Down, Northern Ireland. The car has a 1,271cc 6-cylinder inline engine and was at one time part of a three car team known as the Three Musketeers, and given the name of 'Aramis'.

TVR Griffith

I took this photograph at Luffield corner during the HSCC Historic Road Sports Championship Race at the HSCC's Historic Tribute Meeting at Silverstone in June 2004.

Leading is Laurence Bailey in his 1965 TVR Griffith with a 289 cu in (4.7 litres) V8 engine followed by Graeme Dodd's 3.8 litre 1954 Jaguar XK120. In the background and approaching Priory corner are the yellow 2 litre 1969 Porsche 911T of Nobu Asai and the red 2 litre 1965 Porsche 911 of Michael Masters.

Carel Godin de Beaufort

I took this photograph during practice for the British Grand Prix at Aintree in July 1962.

It's the late Carel Godin de Beaufort approaching Waterway corner in his privately entered 1½ litre flat-4 1960 Porsche 718/2, a car that was a  development of the 718 sports car and originally intended as a Formula 2 car. When the regulations for the World Drivers' Championship were changed with effect from the 1961 season limiting engine capacities to 1½ litres Porsche participated in the Grands Prix with cars driven by Dan Gurney and Jo Bonnier and Carel Godin de Beaufort entered his car under the name of his own  Ecurie Maarsbergen team. In 1962 the Porsche factory progressed to the new 1½ litre flat-8 Porsche 804, but Carel Godin de Beaufort continued to campaign his 718/2 and at the British Grand Prix that year he qualified his car in seventeenth place on the grid and finished the race in fourteenth place.

During practice for the German Grand Prix in August 1964 at the Nürburgring Carel Godin de Beaufort left the track at the Bergwerk corner in his Porsche 718/2 and was thrown out of the car sustaining injuries from which he died in hospital the following day.

Lancia Fulvia

This car competed in the QED Standard Road Sports Championship race at the HSCC's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992.

It's Paul Howarth's 1968 Lancia Fulvia with a 1,298cc V4 engine and is pictured at Lodge Corner during the race.

On 9 September 2017 I showed a photograph of a 1969 Lancia Fulvia that Paul Howarth drove at Oulton Park in 1995.

Maserati 250F

This car is being readied in the paddock to take part in the VSCC Flockhart Trophy Race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2006.

It's a 1957 Maserati 250F, or at least it's a replica built by Cameron Millar in the early 1980s using many original parts. Cameron Millar acquired a genuine Maserati 250F in 1964 which he kept and raced for 8 years. During this time he purchased the remaining cars and spare parts belonging to the Scuderia Centro Sud who had competed with the cars in the 1950s, and also the chassis jigs from the Maserati factory. He then set about building a series of replicas, using these original parts where possible, that are indistinguishable from the genuine Maserati 250F to such an extent that they are allowed by the FIA to take part in historic racing events. There are 12 cars in all, built between 1970 and the early 1990s and given a chassis number prefixed by the letters 'CM'. This particular car is CM5 and was owned at the time of this Donington Park meeting by David Wenman, and driven in the race by Barrie Williams.

Friday's Ferrari

This is one of the cars I photographed at the Ferrari Racing Days meeting at Silverstone in September 2017.

It's a 1989 Ferrari F40, one of 1,311 produced between 1987 and 1992. It has a twin turbo 2,936cc V8 engine with two overhead camshafts per bank and four valves per cylinder.

I've shown photographs of the Ferrari F40 twice before, on 23 November 2012 and 10 May 2013.
