CKL win the Salvadori Cup for second time in a row
80MM - What a glorious start to the 2023 Racing season.
CKL was honoured to attend with the legendary 1950 XK-120 works Le Mans entry 'MGJ 15'. Guy Ziser raced his E-Type in the Moss Trophy, and CKL won the Salvadori Cup with the Lister-Jaguar 'BHL 147'.
The CKL-prepared Lister-Jaguar 'BHL 147' repeated its last win of the Salvadori Cup. Martin Stretton made a great start from pole position, ahead of Gary Pearson in his D-Type and David Hart in his Costin-bodied Lister. It was an action-packed race with four cars battling for the lead. Stretton was under pressure for much of the race, but the CKL-prepared Lister had the pace to stay in front and take the win.
Victor’s cap and laurels: BHL 147 won the Salvadori Cup for a second time at 80MM.

"It takes months of hard graft from the whole team back at base to prepare these cars to a race-winning standard - so big thank you to the whole CKL team for yet another win."

'MGJ 79' was the first ever Jaguar to complete the Le Mans Twenty-Four Hours Race. Driven by owner Hans-Martin Schneeberger in the Tony Gaze Trophy for sports and GT cars built between 1948 and 1954 - it was a rare privilege to see the car competing on track, presented in true period-correct style.
"Goodwood is a special place - a sense of occasion that's difficult to describe. Anytime that I am fortunate enough to race there is a privilege. Looking forward to the next time...car was faultless and was the best looking on the grid."
