This car was part of a display at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 2000 marking 50 years of Formula One racing.
It's a 1991 Jordan 191, Eddie Jordan's first effort as a Grand Prix constructor, and was powered by a 3,494cc Ford Cosworth V8 engine. The drivers for that season were Andrea de Cesaris and Bertrand Gachot, but when Gachot was unable to compete in the last six races Michael Schumacher made his Formula One debut in the Belgian Grand Prix, Roberto Moreno drove in the next two, and Alex Zanardi took the last three. The fourth place finishes of Andrea de Cesaris in Canada and Mexico were the best results for Jordan that season. At this Silverstone event John Watson drove the car in track demonstration runs.
On 2 August 2015 I showed photographs of John Watson taking to the circuit on one of these demonstration runs.
