This is a photograph I took at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992 which featured a special display of Ferraris in the paddock numbered 1 to 32, and a page in the programme of the event gave details of each of the cars.

The car in the centre is a 1953 Ferrari 375 MM which has a 4,523cc V12 engine designed by Aurelio Lampredi and is chassis #0366AM. The programme of the event says this about the car:
'375 MM Scaglietti
Originally a PF Spyder, this car was rebodied by Scaglietti, probably in 1954/55. It is the only 375 MM ever produced with bodywork by Scaglietti. Raced in Swedish GPs of 1954 and '56, finishing second in '56.'
The car on the left with a number 17 in the windscreen is a 1951 Ferrari 340 MM, chassis #0082A, and is the car with which Luigi Villoresi and Piero Cassani won the 1951 Mille Miglia. On the right with a number 18 is a 1953 Ferrari 250 MM Panamericana, which at various times has had the chassis numbers #0292MM, #0239EU and #0352MM, all to move the car in and out of Italy without paying duty or getting an import permit.
