This racing sports car is well-known in certain circles, but can you identify it?

This is the ca. 1962 Triumph TRS LeMans race car.

"As for the TRS - this was referred to in some quarters at the time as TR4S, and I wouldn't be surprised if that is what is written on the original LM entry forms for 1961, even if the 1960 entry was for TRS."
