Chassis:
Confusingly stamped with a Type 44 chassis number, this is understood to be the original Type 59/50B that started life back in 1933 as one of the six Type 59s. In its 4.7 litre Type 59/50B guise, it debuted at the 1936 Monaco Grand Prix and subsequently raced with a naturally aspirated 4.5 litre engine in 1937. Complying with the regulations, it was converted to the 3-litre Type 59/50B III specification it still boasts today. After a lengthy spell in the United States, it recently passed into British hands.
Following a restoration to full working order by Tom Dark Engineering, it is seen here at a very rare outing, during the 2011 Goodwood Revival.
