Friday's Ferrari

I took this photograph in the area set aside for members of the Ferrari Owners Club at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1995.
Originally a 1947 Ferrari 125 Spyder #01C it competed in various races, including the 1947 Mille Miglia in the hands of Franco Cortese and was also driven at Livorno by Tazio Nuvolari. Following an accident in practice at Modena when being driven by Fernandino Righetti it was rebuilt as a 166 Spyder Corsa and renumbered as #010I. On 6 July 2012 I showed an almost identical photograph of this car that I'd taken earlier at the meeting, at which time I'd not been able to confirm if it was an original car or a replica.
