This was one of the competitors in the Ron Flockhart Memorial Trophy Race for Pre 61 Racing Cars at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophy meeting at Donington Park in May 2001.
It's the 1959 Tec-Mec F415, the last evolution of the Maserati 250F which had begun with the start of the 2½ litre F1 Formula in 1954. The car only competed in one World Championship race - the 1959 USA Grand Prix - retiring very early in that race, and its full history was related by Bonhams when it was offered for auction in 2003. The car was entered for this Donington Park race in 2001 by Barrie Baxter.
On 23 July 2015 I showed three photographs of the car that I'd taken over a period of some 36 years.
