It's Norbert Schmitz-Koep's
1939 Maserati 4CL, chassis #1566, which was designed for Voiturette racing and
had a supercharged 1,491cc straight-4 engine. The 4CL had some success in its
first season until racing was curtailed by the Second World War, and dominated
racing in the years immediately following the war in the hands of drivers such
as Raymond Sommer, Tazio Nuvolari and Luigi Villoresi, until the arrival of the
Alfa Romeo 158. The green car next to the Maserati is Dick Skipworth's ERA R3A, which was driven that day by Barrie Williams.
