Bingo speedwagen!! Its the Bristol 411, "the gentleman's express", it looks like Bristol Cars may come out of bankruptcy shortly so the tradition of hand built slightly odd cars will continue.

Would you like to favor us with the next mystery car?

Well if it isn't the Sumar Special that ran at Indy back in '55, even though it worked better as a race car without its bodywork, it looked so much better in its original configuration.

OK an opportunity for a triple score here, name the car, the driver, and the track if you can. Hint, if you can get the car, the rest will follow.

OK speedwagen, you're right on the car, its a Maserati 250F. Now you have the approximate era right, but who is most associated with the 250F and where was his most impressive victory?
