This car took part in the Coys of Kensington Pre-1964 GT Car Race at the Coys international Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999.
It's the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO of Harry Leventis, chassis 3505GT, originally built for the British UDT Laystall team, and still bearing their pale green colours, the car was intended to be driven by Stirling Moss, but his career ending accident at Goodwood in April 1962 meant that he never actually got to drive the car in competition. Innes Ireland took his place and won the Tourist Trophy race at Goodwood in August 1992. The car has, of course, the Gioacchino Colombo designed 2,953cc V12 tipo 168 engine. At this Silverstone meeting the driving was shared by Stirling Moss and Tony Dron.
