    I have this photo in a series from my father's photographic archive. Clearly shows XKC008 with registration MHP 825. It had racing number 8379 on the door.

    I'd really like to find the date, event and location of this photo so I can track down the other cars featured.

    Sorry, I can't attach the image for some reason.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
