nzcarnerd ◊ 2017-03-28 03:23	Yes that is Mike Hawthorn. I see he won the 1955 Daily Express Trophy Race at Silverstone in a MK VII - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_Mark_VII Could this be that day? -- Last edit: 2017-03-28 03:23:52

LWK 343 also entered in at least 3 Monte Carlo rallies (1952 #103, 1954 and 1956), and used in 1953 by Jaguar test driver Norman Dewis to gain a speed record (121.704mph) at Jabbeke in Belgium.
