The SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2005 featured the Maserati marque and there was a Celebration Maserati Invitation Race for Maserati (and OSCA) cars. This is one of the cars taking part in that race.
It's the 1951 Maserati A6GCM of Julia de Baldanza and is chassis #2033, originally built for the Brazilian Escuderia Bandeirantes team. The car has 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. Some of the later A6GCM chassis were subsequently given the 1954 2½ litre engine and rebuilt as interim 250F cars.
Here's Julia de Baldanza at McLean's Corner during the race.
