This was one of the competitors in the Maserati UK Race for Pre 1952 Grand Prix Cars at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 2000.
It's Peter Neumark's 1932 Alfa Romeo 8C Monza, originally built with a 2.3 litre supercharged straight-eight engine, but the programme of the event says that this car has the later 2.6 litre unit that was fitted to the cars from 1933. The car is painted in the French blue racing colours, but I don't know if it's the blue Alfa Romeo 8C driven by French driver Louis Chiron in the 1933 racing season. The car was given the 'Monza' name after its victory in the 10 hour long 1931 Italian Grand Prix at the Monza circuit co-driven by Giuseppe Campari and Tazio Nuvolari.
