My car can just be seen in the bottom left corner of this Richard Styles shot, possibly from the same meeting as yours ?

No, Richard's picture is not from the same race meeting as mine, although funnily enough my shot is also taken from the pit roof looking down into the collection area. Richard & I seem to have had an uncanny habit of taking pics of the same cars in the same places over the years!
From what I can see of the race number on the GLTL Lotus 47 that is the Formula Libre race at the West Essex CC meeting on 30 June 1968. And if anyone is interested that appears to be Charles Carling's Brabham BT18 alongside the Lotus.
I've had a quick run through my 1968 Snetterton programmes & found the following entries for your car. Piers Forrester also entered some races in what I think was a yellow Unipower.
30.06.68 West Essex Car Club Car Races
Formula Libre Race 15 Laps
41 G.L.Goodman Unipower G.T.S. 1133cc Red
14.07.68 750 MC
Scratch Race for Sports and GT Cars 8 Laps
121 Graham Goodman (Dvr: Gideon Lloyd)
Unipower GTS BMC 1140
28.07.68 BRSCC Clubman's Car Races
Special Grand Touring & Special Sports Car Race 8 Laps
121 Graham Goodman Unipower GT 1140
06.10.68 BRSCC Clubman's Car Races
Scratch Race for Special Grand Touring & Special Sports 8 Laps
115 Graham Goodman (Dvr: Gideon Lloyd)
Unipoer G.T. 1149cc
That's the entries as they appear in the programmes - the engine size seems to fluctuate a bit! I hope there is something of help there.
