I'm guessing southern England ( because all the others are) 

 

September 1963 ( date on slide)

 

Location unknown - hopefully you will know it!

Nearest car in the middle picture could be a Napier-Railton, they have one at Brooklands Museum. Tail is slightly different but they used to coach build those racers anyway and I daresay th bodywork got smashed up quite frequently. If it is Goodwood then I imagine they keep records of all the races and they still run very similar races at the Goodwood Revival.

I have found the programmes for 1963 but can't match up the car numbers.

I should have said 'the' Napier Railton I think, may not be that of course but it looks very similar. I see that it's definitely Goodwood:

Backing down on the Napier Railton, no sign of the exhaust pipes or that massive silencer, probably a bit too small as well. It's definitely not a Plymouth either.
