Bentley 3/8

This was one of the competitors in the Richard Seaman Memorial Vintage Trophy Race at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies Meeting at Oulton Park in June 1982.
It's Tim Llewellyn approaching Lodge Corner in his Bentley 3/8, a 1926 Bentley 3 litre, chassis LM1338, with a 1930 8.3 litre engine.  This was 36 years ago, and as far as I'm aware he's still racing the car today.

Tojeiro Jaguar

This car took part in the Hawthorn International Trophy race at the VSCC's meeting at Oulton Park in June 2008.
It's Tim Llewellyn's 1956 Tojeiro Jaguar, the first Jaguar-engined car to be built by John Tojeiro,  at the instigation of John Ogier. Ogier himself drove the car on its first appearance, but although the car proved that it looked the part and was quick he realised that it needed a competitive driver and it was subsequently mainly driven by Dick Protheroe.
