The SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2005 produced probably the largest gathering of Maserati 250Fs that has ever been seen in this country - I understand that there were 24 in all. This is one of those cars, photographed at McLean's Corner during a track demonstration by a number of Italian cars.
It's Nigel Corner in the car that was campaigned mainly by Jean Behra in the 1957 season, but also driven that year by Juan Fangio and Harry Schell, and is chassis #2528. This car has been owned and raced by the Corner family, Nigel and his father Neil, since 1972, and it was they who commissioned the motoring journalist Ian Wagstaff to write a comprehensive history of the car.
Here's the car alongside several other Maserati 250Fs in a marquee in the paddock.
On 8 July 2016 I showed a photograph of 2528 alongside the Corner family's 1960 Ferrari Dino 246 F1 car at Silverstone in 1994.
