1955 Maserati 250F

This car competed in the HGPCA Pre '60 GP Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in August 1996.

It's indistinguishable from a 1950s Maserati 250F, but it's one of 12 replicas built by Cameron Millar and this one has the chassis number CM8. Cameron Millar acquired a genuine Maserati 250F in 1964 (originally 2501, later renumbered 2523) which he kept and raced for 8 years. In this time he purchased all the remaining cars and spare parts belonging to the Scuderia Centro Sud who had competed with the 250F in the 1950s, and also the chassis jigs from the Maserati factory. He then set about creating this series of replicas, using as far as possible genuine period parts, which are so well crafted that the FIA has allowed them to race alongside the genuine Maserati 250F and its contemporaries in competitive historic racing events. At the time of this Silverstone event CM8 was owned by Swedish driver Gunnar Elmgren.

1936 Maserati 6CM

This is one of three examples of the Maserati 6CM that took part in the Richard Seaman Memorial Historic Trophy race at the VSCC's meeting at Oulton Park in July 1987.

It's Gunnar Elmgren's 1936 model with a 1,493cc supercharged 6-cylinder inline engine. Gunnar Elmgren became President of the FIA Historic Motorsport Commission in his later years. Behind the Maserati is the 1936 ERA R12B of Bill Morris, one of the ERAs at one time run by Prince Chula's White Mouse Racing stable and driven by Prince Bira and was given the name Hanuman II. The ERA has a 1,482cc supercharged 6-cylinder inline engine.
