This car competed in the Historic Trophy race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial
Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in June 1985.

It’s the 1939 Maserati 4CL of
Dan Margulies, chassis 1582, which has a
4-cylinder inline supercharged 1,489cc engine, and I have come across this brief
history of the car:
Maserati 4CL [1582] (Toni
Branca): Delivered 31 July 1946 to Guido Barbieri from Reggio Emilia, and raced
in the 1946 Turin and Milan GPs. It is possible that the chassis was then used
by Barbieri in his 1.5 litre Maserati 6C Sports Special, which first appeared
in October 1946. The car reappeared in normal 4CL form in 1949 in the hands of
Swiss Anton Branca, who raced it throughout 1949 and 1950. The car then passed
through a variety of Swiss owners’ hands, at one stage fitted with a Ford V8
engine, before being campaigned in historic racing by Dan Margulies for more
than 20 years, and being owned most recently by Klaus Edel and then Oliver
Maierhofer.
