1955 Vanwall

This is a photograph that my brother took in the paddock at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in September 1955.

It's the 1955 Vanwall (#VW2) that was driven in the race by Harry Schell. He qualified in fifth place on the grid, but retired after 16 laps with a broken universal joint. The race was won by Stirling Moss in a Maserati 250F.

This is a photograph taken on practice day for the British Grand Prix at Aintree in July 1957.

It's the Maserati 250F (#2527) driven in the race by Harry Schell, who qualified in seventh place on the grid but retired on lap 39 with a broken water pump. I showed a photograph on 3 May 2016 of how this car looked in July 2000.
