This car took part in two races in the Shell Ferrari Maserati Challenge series at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in June 2003.
It's John May's 1951 Maserati A6GCM, with a 6-cylinder inline 1,985cc engine, developed by Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani as a Formula 2 car but eligible to run in World Championship events in 1952 and 1953 when the races were run to Formula 2 specifications. In 1953 the A6GCM was extensively modified by Gioacchino Colombo and given a body closely resembling that of the later Maserati 250F. John May's car was originally built for the Brazilian Escuderia Bandeirantes team and is chassis #2033. On 16 June 2018 I showed a photograph of it in the pit lane at this meeting.
