Williams Trophy Race

I took this photograph at Redgate corner on the first lap of the Williams Trophy Race at the VSCC's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in June 2008. The race celebrates the win of Grover Williams in the first Monaco Grand Prix in 1929 and the trophy that he won in that race is in the custody of the Bugatti Trust, and is given to the winner of this race to hold for one year.

Leading is the 1932 Bugatti T51 of  Charles Dean and close behind him the 1926 Bugatti T35B of Mike Preston. The light blue car in the centre of the picture is the 1928 Bugatti T35B of Brandon Smith-Hilliard with the 1927 Lea-Francis Hyper of Miss E Brewster, driven by Jeremy Brewster, coming round on the outside. The red car on the left of the picture is the 1932 Alfa Romeo 8C Monza of Graham Burrows being driven by Chris Mann, and almost alongside him is the 1931 Bugatti T51 of Stephen Shoosmith.

1934 MG K3

This car competed in the Pre-War MGs race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007.

It's a 1934 MG K3, and the programme of the event shows that it was entered by Peter Gregory and driven in the race by Brandon Smith-Hilliard. It looks remarkably like the car sold by Sotheby's at an auction in 2013 for €408,800, but the auction description says that was a 1933 car with an engine of 1,086cc whereas the programme at the Donington Park meeting says that this is a 1934 vehicle and the capacity of the engine is 1,286cc. Peter Gregory apparently produced a number of MG K3 replicas so this is possibly another of his efforts with a larger engine.

Maserati 250F

This car took part in the Flockhart Trophy Race at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in June 2008.

It's the 1957 Maserati 250F of Brandon Smith-Hilliard, seen here in the pit garage. The Maserati 250F typifies Formula One motor racing of the 1950s, and the car competed in the entire period of the 2½ litre formula from the first race, the Argentinian Grand Prix of 1954, to the last one, the USA Grand Prix of 1960.

Maserati 250F

Three Maserati 250Fs took part in the Flockhart Trophy race at the VSCC's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in June 2008 and here is David Wenman's 1957 model being prepared in the paddock prior to the race.

I've been through the list of Maserati 250F serial numbers in the barchetta.cc website but I can't see which of the cars this one is.

Here's the car, driven by Tony Stephens, in the pit lane going on a practice run

During the race here's Tony Stephens following Brandon Smith-Hilliard's 250F, also a 1957 model, at McLean's corner.
