Thanks, guys... George, #68 is a Jaguar XK120, pushing hard at a "Big Healey". The Jaguar XK straight six engine is also found in dedicated racing C-Types, D-Types, and lightweight E-Types, plus some very fast Mk 2s. I'm not sure what the regulations about "period correctness" are in this class: that XK120 might be running a fully race-developed late model XK engine under that beautifully curved hood, and be a bit of a "wolf in sheep's clothing". It was blinkin' quick along the pit straight, that's for sure, but was usually undone by having to brake earlier for the big Redgate turn at the end than the cars running disk brakes...

best,

M.
