For the life of me, I can’t nail down who Graham Hill is chasing. Source says it’s at Silverstone and looks like 1960. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! confirms he was driving a #4 BRM. Driving a #8 car in that race was Jim Clark in a Lotus-Climax. Nope, that’s not a Lotus-Climax. With the intake on the right side I’d guess Cooper-Maserati, but...

Scuderia Centro Sud. Not sure of the race but looks like the car.

Yes, 1960 T51 Cooper-Maserati (I think). Doesn’t look like Sud team though, missing livery and the nose intake is different.

Have a look here:

Cooper-Maserati T51, Scuderia Centro Sud, indeed at Silverstone. Not a World Championship race event though.

According to the page above, Carlos Menditeguy (ARG) was supposed to drive that day but somehow did not make it to the race and Ian Burgess ended up at the wheel of car number 8.

Masten Gregory drove number 9.

Prego!

Notice that in the picture shown in that blog Masten Gregory is also on three wheels.

I wonder whether that was somehow typical of the Cooper-Maserati T51? (very different animals, but Giulias 105 also do it all the time when driven briskly)

Beautiful cars... unfortunately the beauty was to disappear after the very first years of the 3.0 era.
