1948 Gordini T15

This car took part in the Motor Sport HGPCA Pre '52 Grand Prix Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival Meeting at Silverstone in July 1995.

It's the 1948 Gordini T15 of John Foster, with a 1,430cc 4-cylinder inline Simca-based engine. The T15 took part in World Championship Grand Prix races from 1950 to 1953, with a supercharged engine in 1950 and 1951, and without the supercharger in 1952 and 1953 when races were run with the Formula 2 limit of 2 litres. In the 1952 and 1953 seasons the works Gordini team used the updated Gordini T16, but the T15 was still used by some private entrants.
