Finbin should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Stuart Graham Capri

Saw this poster at the NEC Classic car show, sorry about the quality.

The car is Stuart Graham’s Ford Capri, but I can’t work out the circuit or year. Tricentrol first sponsored the championship in 1978 and ended in 1982.The crowd does look very seventies and is quite large in number, some are even track side of the protective wooden fence!
It looks like a very high concrete bank, don’t think it is Mallory Park as people were allowed on the inside of the hairpin.
Using Google to search for the answer I came across this second image, from http://www.forum-auto.com/sport-auto...78742-5320.htm

Translation states "4hr Mans 76 Production on the Bugatti
race won by Lucien GUITTENY / Stuart GRAHAM"
1976 was the first year that a change in the British touring car championship happened, with a limit for the top class being 3000cc engines. So this must be a very early race in the life of the Faberge Capri.
