It's the 1950 Ferrari 166/195 MM Touring Barchetta of Dudley & Sally Mason-Styrron, which was driven in the race by Sally, and is chassis #0040M. A note in the programme of this event in 1992 says this about the car:
'166/195 Barchetta
Front engined V12; 2.3 litres;
160-180 bhp at 7000rpm; ifs/double wishbones/transverse leaf springs. Rigid
rear axle/semi-elliptic leaf springs. The dual model designation reflects the
fact that it started out as a 2-litre car in the 166 series and finished up
with a 2.4 litre engine from the 195 series. The 'Barchetta' - literally
'little boat' body is by Touring. It ran in the 1950 Mille Miglia, 4th overall
(G.Bracco/U.Maglioli) and finished 12th overall. 5th in class (Luigi Villoresi)
in the Targa Florio that year.'
