This car competed in the Pre-War Sports Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1995.
It's the 1934 Maserati 4CS of Norbert Schmitz-Koep and he shared the driving in the race with Ludwig Willisch. The Maserati 4CS was produced from 1931 to 1936 with a supercharged 1,088c engine, and from 1932 to 1936 with a lengthened chassis and a supercharged 1,498cc engine. Norbert Schmitz-Koep's car is chassis #1123 and was one of the five cars built with the smaller engine. Six cars were built with the larger engine, but in the 1980s or 90s #1123 was given one of the 1,498cc engines.
