Two French Cars

These two cars took part in the Pre-War Sports Car Team Relay Race at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2004.

The car on the left is a 1939 Talbot Darracq T150C, entered by B.S.Dollamore and driven in the race by Toby Heelis. On the right is a 1936 Delahaye 135, entered and driven by Sir Ralph Robins.

Friday's Ferrari

I've showed photographs of the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta previously and here's one which took part in the Coys of Kensington Pre 1964 GT Cars race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 2000.

The car, which appears to be serial number 3401GT, was driven by Franco Meiners and Sir Ralph Robins in the 50 minute long race at that meeting. The www.barchetta.cc history of 3401GT confirms that it was owned by Franco Meiners in 2000, and although it doesn't say that it was entered in the Silverstone 2000 meeting you can see at the rear of the car the external fuel filler which it says was fitted in 1998.
