This is a photograph that I took
at McLeans Corner during the HGPCA's International Historic Grand Prix meeting
at Donington Park in May 2004.

It's David Bennett's 1953/4 Maserati A6GCM.
The car is finished in the Siamese colours of Prince Bira who competed in a
Maserati A6GCM in the 1954 season. This is a car that that started off life
in 1953 as a Maserati A6GCM, chassis number 2044 with a 6-cylinder inline 1,979cc
engine, but was converted to a 250F in 1954 with a 6-cylinder inline 2,493cc engine
and given the chassis number 2504. Later that year after an accident the
chassis 2504 was switched with that of 2509. Though it's shown in the programme of the event as a Maserati A6GCM it also says that it had a 2,493cc engine, so I suppose it should really have been called a 250F.
