Seeing the suitably bucolic setting of a shot of Lister RB25 on one of Doug Nye’s threads it reminded me of a couple of locations similar to that in photographs which I sourced from E Bay some time ago, all uncaptioned and undated. Most of the others in the batch are clearly Silverstone and Wiscombe around late sixties possibly 1970/71. It will be easy to try and date these , as and when I get round to it, but this one struck me as interesting for the car , which I am sure I ought to know…) and venue.

Is it the Tojeiro Aston Martin of Alistair Park? Again possibly Firle?

Ran Firle: FTD 5 Oct 1958; 31 May 1959.

Certainly look like the outside-spoke Aston wheels too.

Looks more true Aston Martin DB3S at first sight...certainly 3S-style paint pattern with the highlighted front wheel-arch ... perhaps a faintly Scottish 'feel'to the hillside?  Rest-and-be-Thankful?  Might this be a Graham Gauld image?

Looks very like one of the last two works Aston DB3Ss - DB3S/10 and 11. My guess is DB3S/10 as it was widely campaigned in the 1960s by Bob Owen among others.
