Aston Martin DB4 Zagato

This photograph was taken at what was then the Foulstons chicane during the Inter-Marque championship race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's Autumn Historic Car Races meeting at Oulton Park in September 1993.
Leading is the 1990 Aston Martin DB4 Zagato of Geoffrey Harris (one of the Sanction models) followed by the 1960 DB4 Zagato of James Taylor. I can't identify the next car, but behind that is the 1982 Porsche 911 of Alistair Sinclair then the 1964 Jaguar E-Type of Allen Lloyd. The red car on its way to Shell Oils Corner appears to be the 1979 Porsche 911 of Graham Owlett.

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.

Porsche 356A

The Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2012 included the 45 minute HSCC Guards Trophy Race for GT Cars and the photographs below are of two of the participating cars.
 This is a 1958 Porsche 356A, driven in the race by Steve Wright and Ian Clark.
The Porsche 911 succeeded the 356 in 1963 and is still is production, and you can see the family resemblance in this side view of the 356.
When I walked through the paddock later there was a 911 alongside the 356, Philip Basil's 1965 model which also took part in the same race.
