This car was listed in the programme as a Reserve entry in the 10 Lap Scratch Race for 1950s Sports Racing Cars at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in May 2001.
It's Nick Mason's 1959 Maserati T61, chassis #2457, and has a 4-cylinder inline 2,890cc engine. The T61, and the 1,989cc T60 were generally known as Maserati Birdcage cars because of the intricate tubular space frame chassis, and in common with many of these cars 2457 started off life in the USA. After passing through various hands it was acquired by Nick Mason in the 1980s. Sixteen examples of the T61 were produced between 1959 and 1961.
