Yep, Silverstone Classic is well worth a visit.
I've now dug out the programme for the Rougham event (it was primarily an Air Display, but the number of classics old and new that turned up along with a number of classic car clubs was impressive) and it describes the above car as a 1970 G11. This was well after the factory short production run had finished (1966/67) so it must be built on one of the chassis that later escaped.
Incidentally, the front cover of the first printing of John Rose's book carries a stunning colour picture of a G10 coupe that was once owned by Rod Leach. It exudes aggressive intent and a further reference to the book reveals that a works entered, Chris Meek driven, but underdeveloped convertible won on its debut at Brands, at a canter from E types.
