The SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2005 included a Celebration Maserati Invitation Race and this is one of the cars that participated in that race.
It's one of two OSCA Formula Junior cars taking part in the race - included because the Maserati brothers established the OSCA company at the end of their 10 year contract with Adolfo Orsi, to whom they had sold the Maserati concern in 1937. Formula Junior racing was initiated in 1958 by Giovanni Lurani as an affordable introduction to single seater racing, and this car is the 1959 OSCA FJ car of Tony Pickering, powered - as were most Italian FJ cars - by a Fiat 1100cc engine.
On 6 Jan 2016 I showed a photograph of this car at Donington Park in 2007.
