The Coys International Historic Festival
meeting at Silverstone in July 1998 celebrated the 50th anniversary
of the circuit, the first race there being the first ever British Grand Prix.
To mark the occasion the grid for that first race was reassembled, the majority
of the cars being those that actually took part in the 1948 race.

This is a photograph that I took in the paddock
of two of the cars. On the left the Maserati 6CM that Duncan Hamilton drove in 1948
and was owned by M Greer in 1998. On the right is the Maserati 4CL that was a
reserve car for the 1948 race and would have been driven by Fred Ashmore. In
1998 it was owned by Karl Bloechle.
