1953 Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM

My brother took this photograph at the Daily Herald International Trophy meeting at Oulton Park in August 1955.
It's Joakim Bonnier's 1953 Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM, chassis #0125, with a 6-cylinder inline 3,495cc engine. The number 36 next to it is Gunnar Carlsson's 1954 Ferrari 750 Monza chassis #0470MD. The cars with numbers 20 and 18 in the background are the Lister Bristols of Ken Wharton and Archie Scott Brown, and immediately behind the Alfa Romeo is what looks like Mike Anthony's Lotus Mk X.

Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM

This car took part in the 'Coys of Kensington GT Race' at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1993.
It's a 1953 Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM and was driven in the race at this meeting by its owner, Christopher Mann.
One of these cars was driven to second place in the 1953 Mille Miglia by Juan Manuel Fangio, despite driving most of the return leg from Rome to Brescia with effective steering on only one of the front wheels.
