1956 Triumph TR3

These two cars competed in the AMOC Lighthouse Anglo-American Thoroughbred Challenge race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's meeting at Oulton Park in May 2002.
Both are 1956 models, number 34 being the car of Charles Gillett and number 37 that of Justin Maeers. The Triumph TR3 was a successor to the TR2, both using a tuned version of the 4-cylinder inline 1991cc Standard Vanguard engine but that in the TR3 was a slightly more powerful unit. These two cars, though, have the 2,138cc engine that only became available with later versions of the TR3 in 1959.

Vintage Seaman Race 2008

I took this photograph at Redgate corner during the Vintage Seaman Race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in June 2008.
The car leading here is the 1929 Frazer Nash Super Sports of Charles Gillett and on the right is the 1926 GN Parker of Justin Maeers. That car is obscuring the one behind, but following them is the 1930 AC/GN Special of Robert Carr and bringing up the rear on the left is the blue 1926/18 Franziss Special of Roger Sweet.

GN Cyclecars

These cars took part in the 2 hour long VSCC Team Relay Race for Pre-war Sports Cars at the VSCC's SeeRed and Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in May 2011.
They're both GN Cyclecars, number 32 is the 4.2 litre V-twin GN Thunderbug of Mark Walker and the other car is the GN Parker of Justin Maeers, with a 6124cc Gypsy Moth aircraft engine. The GN cyclecar was produced between 1910 and 1925, originally with a V-twin JAP or Peugeot engine, and later GN's own 1100cc engine. On 12 January 2016 I showed photographs of the GN Parker at the VSCC's 2008 meeting at Oulton Park.

GN Parker Special

I photographed this car at the VSCC's Hawthorn Memorial Trophies Race Meeting at Oulton Park in June 2008.
It's the 1926 GN Parker Special and is a GN Cyclecar with an engine of 6124cc capacity, which I understand is a Gypsy Moth aircraft engine.
Here's the car at Britten's chicane being driven by the owner, Justin Maeers.
