Friday's Ferrari

Today's Ferrari is one I photographed at the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in 1970. Unfortunately I can't find the programme for that event so I don't know who entered or drove the car that day, nor if any information was given about the car. I seem to recall that it was said to be the car with which Alberto Ascari won the World Championships of 1952 and 1953, in the course of which he won nine consecutive races, the final six of 1952 and the first three of 1953.
If it is that car it's the one which is now in the Grand Prix Collection at Donington Park in Leicestershire and the photograph below is one I took there in October 1989.
