Friday's Ferrari

This car competed in the Shell Ferrari Historical Challenge race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1997.
It's the 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial of Geoffrey Williams with a 4-cylinder inline 1,985cc engine designed by Aurelio Lampredi and body by Scaglietti. It is chassis #0454MD and was originally provided for US racing driver Bob Said. It was sold in 1955 to Tony Palmer-Morewood and remained in the USA - at one point with a Chevrolet engine - until the early 1990s when it came to the UK and was acquired by Geoffrey Williams.
