The Coys International Historical Festival meeting of July 2000 marked 50 years of the Formula 1 World Championship for Drivers with a display of cars covering that period, this car being one of those representing the 1950s.

It's a 1950 Alfa Romeo 158, a car that dominated the first season of the Championship, winning 6 of the 7 races - the exception being the Indianapolis 500 race which was included in the Championship from 1950 to 1960. Giuseppe Farina won three of the races and the World Championship with 30 points, ahead of his team mate Juan Fangio with 27 points. In 1951 Juan Fangio won the World Championship with the Alfa Romeo 159, an updated version of the 158.
