This is a car that I
photographed at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone
in August 1996 at Silverstone in what I think was its first outing since an
extensive restoration in the early 1990s.

It's the ex-Benoit Musy 1955
Maserati 300S, chassis number 3057, entered in the Louis Vuitton 1950s Sports
Car Race by Peter Scott and driven in the race by Martin Stretton. It has a 2,991cc 6-cylinder engine that was
based on the 2½ litre unit of the 250F Grand Prix car with a longer stroke. This
car was originally owned by Swiss driver Benoit Musy and I remember seeing it being driven by him at Oulton Park and Aintree in 1956.
