This car took part in the HGPCA Race for Pre-1966 Grand Prix Cars at the Historic Grand Prix Cars Association's International Historic Grand Prix meeting at Donington Park in May 2004.
It's Marshall Bailey's 1959 JBW F1, a Maserati-engined car built by Brian Naylor's mechanic Fred Wilkinson to enable him to compete in British and International Formula One races. Brian Naylor didn't have much success in World Championship races, entering for six races over three seasons, failing to qualify for the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix, retiring in four other races, and finishing in thirteenth place in the 1960 British Grand Prix. The car derives its name from Naylor's forenames (John Brian) and the W from Fred Wilkinson's surname.
On 8 December 2016 I showed photographs of this car at Oulton Park in 2005.
