Hispano Delage 500CV

This car competed in the Boulogne Trophy Race at the VSCC's Boulogne and Hawthorn Trophies Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 2005.
It's described in the programme of the event as a 1926/30 27 litre Delage/Hispano Single Seater, entered and driven in the race by Robin Baker. It seems to be better known as a Hispano Delage 500CV and is a 1926 Delage with a 1930 Hispano Suiza 27 litre V12 aero engine, the Type 57 12Mb, developing some 500 hp.
Here's Robin Baker at Britten's chicane during the race.

On 7 November 2016 I showed a photograph of another Hispano Suiza engined Delage, the Bequet Delage of Alexander Boswell, at Donington Park in 2007.
