1937 Maserati 4CM

I took this photograph in the paddock at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial meeting at Oulton Park in June 1969 where it competed in the Historic Trophy race. 

It's the 1937 Maserati 4CM of Dan Margulies which the programme of the event says has a 1,498cc supercharged engine. Grand Prix racing in the 1930s was dominated by the German teams of Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union, and to a lesser extent the Italian Alfa Romeo team. Smaller manufacturers like Maserati built their cars for the Voiturette (or 'small car') class which was for cars with a maximum capacity of 1½ litres. The 4-cylinder Maserati 4CM introduced in 1932 had considerable success, but when these cars started to be outclassed by the British ERA cars Maserati produced the 6CM with a 6-cylinder 1½ litre supercharged engine. I don't know the chassis number of this car, but Dan Margulies was associated with several of the 4CM models and I've been unable to find a photograph of one with a nose like this one.
