This car competed in the Redgate Mug Race for Standard and Modified Pre-war Sports Cars at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in May 2011.
Listed in the programme of the event as a Fiat New Balilla it's Cyril Hancock's 1938 Fiat 508C with a 4-cylinder inline 1,089cc engine. It's called the 'new' Balilla because of mechanical improvements made to the car including independent front suspension, and a larger overhead valve engine replacing the 995cc sidevalve engine of the older car. Next to the Fiat is Adam Painter's supercharged 1,496cc 1935 Maserati 4CS.
