Maserati 250F

The Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1993 featured a celebration of British Racing Green, with a display of a large number of British racing cars and the appearance of several of the drivers who had raced those cars in period. This is one of those who took part in track demonstrations during the meeting.
This is Roy Salvadori preparing to join one of the track demonstrations in the ex-Gilby Engineering Company's 1954 Maserati 250F, chassis #2507/2 that he drove in the 1955 and 1956 seasons. The car had been damaged in a crash at Oulton Park in August 1954 and given a new chassis at the Maserati facory, retaining the original chassis number 2507.

On 14 August 2016 I showed two photographs that I had taken of this car at Donington Park in 2005.
