1956 Maserati 250F

This was one of the competitors in the HGPCA Pre '60 GP Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in August 1996.

It's the 1956 Maserati 250F of Burkhard von Schenk, chassis #2521, new for the 1956 season and driven that year by Jean Behra, and the following season was acquired by Bruce Halford. The 6-cylinder inline 2,490cc engine was designed by Gioacchino Colombo and Vittorio Bellentani, and the tubular frame chassis by Valerio Colotti.
