Friday's Ferrari

This is a car I've featured several times previously, and this photograph was taken at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1995.
It's David Cottingham's 1957 Ferrari 500 TRC, chassis #0682MDTR, with the Lampredi designed 4-cylinder inline 2-litre engine and a Scaglietti body. The car was originally campaigned by Jacques Swaters' Ecurie National Belge team with whom it competed at the 1957 Le Mans 24 Hour race in the hands of Lucien Bianchi and Georges Harris, finishing in 9th place overall and winning the 2-litre class.

Friday's Ferrari

Here's a car that took part in the Champagne Charles Heidsieck Sports Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1993.
It's David Cottingham's 1957 Ferrari 500 TRC, serial number 0682MDTR, originally campaigned by Ecurie Nationale Belge and had the four-cylinder 2 litre Lampredi designed engine. Behind the Ferrari is Willie Tuckett's 1955 Jaguar D-type, and number 32 on the left is Simon Draper's 1955 Bristol 450S.
