Maserati 300S

The Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2005 featured the Maserati marque and many of the Maseratis that took part in that meeting, and others that didn't, were at various times displayed in a large marquee in the paddock during the meeting. This is one of those cars.

It's a Maserati 300S, and appears to be one of the early short nose cars, but didn't take part in the meeting and I've not been able to identify it. The 300S was produced by Maserati from 1955 to 1959 to contend the World Sportcar Championship and had a straight-6 engine based on the 250F Grand Prix car's 2½ litre unit, but with a longer stroke to bring the capacity up to 2,992cc.
