Thanks Keith, I thought it was a BRM and I think that may be South Street in Bourne. Great pic.

I remember seeing/hearing a V16 BRM do a few laps of Brands Hatch when Nick Mason owned one (I seem to recollect he spent a fortune on the engine rebuild only for it to expire after relatively little use ...
