Friday's Ferrari

This was one of the competitors in the Shell Ferrari Historical Challenge race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1998.

It's the 1954 Ferrari 750 Monza of Dieter Streve-Mühlens and is chassis #0470MD with a 4-cylinder inline 3,000cc engine designed by Aurelio Lampredi and a body by Carrozzeria Scaglietti.

This is a photograph taken at Luffield Corner during the Classic Car Sports Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1994.

Driving the leading car is Paul Alexander in Brandon Wang's 1954 Ferrari 750 Monza, chassis #0470MD. Behind it is the Jaguar D-Type of David Pennell and two Lotus Elevens, and on the far side of the circuit an Aston Martin DB3S leading two Jaguar C-Types.

I took the photographs of this car at the Aston Martin Owners Club's Autumn Historic Car Races meeting at Oulton Park in September 1992.

It's Paul Alexander's 1954 Ferrari 750 Monza, chassis #0470MD, and on 20 March 2015 I showed some more photographs of this car at that meeting.

Here's Paul Alexander approaching Lodge Corner during his race.

On 20 September 2013 I showed a photograph of the same car at the 1993 Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone, where the programme of the event shows the entrant and driver of the car to be Paul Alexander, but the barchetta.cc record says that Brandon Wang was the owner at that time.

The Historic Car Championship Race at the Aston Martin Owners Club Autumn Historic Car Races at Oulton Park in September 1992 included classes for pre-war single-seaters, post-war front and rear engined single-seaters and post-war sports cars. One car entered in the latter class was the one shown below.

It's a 1954 Ferrari 750 Monza, chassis number 0470MD. Looking at the photographs I took at this meeting it looks as if it was a particularly overcast and dismal day.

The Ferrari was driven in the race by Paul Alexander of London

This is one of three Ferraris entered in the Champagne Charles Heidsieck Sports Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1993.

It's a Ferrari 750 Monza, entered and driven in the race by Paul Alexander, and this is what Wikipedia says about the Ferrari Monza:

750 Monza

1954 saw the introduction of a new four-cylinder sports racer, the 750 Monza. Sporting a three-litre version of the 500 Mondial's engine, the Monza was much more powerful, with 250 hp (186 kW) available, but barely heavier at 760 kg (1675 lb). The new-style body was penned by Pinin Farina and presaged the droop-nose look of the famed 250 GTO, but it was Scaglietti's 750 Monza, with its faired-in headrest suggesting the flowing Testa Rossa that drew attention.

Mike Hawthorn and Umberto Maglioli piloted their 750 Monza to victory at Monza on its very first race, giving the car its name. Although they were strong on the track, the Monza was unable to hold off the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR in 1955, allowing the Germans to seize the sports car championship that Ferrari claimed in 1954.

The serial number of this car is 0470MD.
