Kieft CK51 F3

I took these two photographs at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007.
It's a 1951 Kieft CK51 500cc Formula 3 car, and although there was a Formula Junior/Formula 3 race at the meeting this car isn't listed in the programme of the event, and I don't recall it taking part in the race. 
This is the car that Stirling Moss drove in the 1951 and early part of the 1952 season, later changing to a Cooper Mk VI. It was a time when many Grand Prix drivers would compete in the support races at Grand Prix meetings, with several taking part in the 500cc races.
