Friday's Ferrari

This car participated in a round of the Shell Ferrari Maserati Historic Challenge series at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2004.

The blue car is Stephen Dudley's 1950 Ferrari 166/195, which I've featured before, on 6 September 2013, at Silverstone. The car was originally a 166, but was converted to 195 specifications in 1951 and is chassis #071S. The car behind it is the 1951 Maserati A6GCM of Julia de Baldanza (#2033) and in front is the 1958 Ferrari 250 GT LWB TdF of Conrad Ulrich (#1141GT). The photograph was taken at Redgate corner.

Chalmers

I photographed this car in the paddock at the VSCC's Hawthorn Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in July 2015. It wasn't competing in any of the races.

It's a 1913 Chalmers Model 17

There's an excellent Antique Automobile Club of America website here with lots of photographs of this car competing in various events, of trips around the country, and of work carried out on the car, all posted by 'Andy' the owner. It's well worth a read but allow yourself plenty of time to go through it all!

Aston Martin Project 212

This car took part in the Coys of Kensington Pre-1964 GT Car race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999.

It's the 1961 Aston Martin Project 212, entered in the race by Hugo Investments Ltd and driven by Gary Pearson and Mike Salmon. It was created to run in the 1962 Le Mans 24 Hour race and built on a DB4 GT chassis with an inline 6-cylinder 4 litre engine based on the DB4 GT's 3.7 litre unit. Driven in that race by Graham Hill and Richie Ginther it was amongst the leaders in the early part of the race, but retired on lap 79 after a piston failure.

On 23 January 2017 I showed a photograph of the later Aston Martin Project 214 car.

Chevrolet

Here's some photographs of Chevrolets that I took at the Footman James Classic Car Show Manchester at EventCity in September 2016.

1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (Third Generation)

1953 Chevrolet 3100 Advance Design - the registration number is 335 XUP

1959 Chevrolet Impala 4-door Hardtop (Second Generation)

1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS (First Generation)

1951 Chevrolet 3800 Advance Design

1961 Chevrolet Corvan 95

I don't know anything about this Chevrolet, but it seems to be based on the 1950s Deluxe Styleline

Williams FW07B

I photographed this car in the Paddock at the HGPCA's Donington International Historic Grand Prix meeting in May 2004. It didn't take part in the meeting, and in fact there were no races that day for which it would have been eligible.

It's the Williams FW07B with which Alan Jones won the World Championship for Drivers in 1980. The car apparently ran both with and without front wings during that season.

Formula Junior

These three cars participated in the Formula Junior Class in the Hawthorn Spanish and Hawthorn Memorial Trophies race at the VSCC's meeting at Oulton Park in June 2008.

William Grimshaw's 1959 Moorland Mk1, the winner of Britain's first ever Formula Junior race, at Brands Hatch in August 1959 in the hands of Ian Raby.

This is the 1959 Stanguellini of Gordon Wright. Powered by the Fiat 1100cc engine, the Stanguellini was the car to beat in Formula Junior racing until the British teams started to develop their mid-engined cars.

Geoff O'Nion's 1959 Elva 100, another Formula Junior car that had some early successes before the advent of the mid-engined cars.

Gordini T17S

I've shown previously, on 16 June 2016, photographs of 2 OSCA sports cars that took part in the Formula 2 race at the British Grand Prix meeting at Silverstone in July 1956, Here's another of the cars that took part in that race - once again photographed by my brother.

It's a Gordini T17S, and was driven in the race by André Pilette who had driven the car in the 1954 Le Mans 24 Hour race partnered by fellow Belgian Mme Gilberte Thirion.
