The Roaring Season

I was talking to the guys at Graypaul in Nottingham, (Ferrari, Maserati main agents), and a couple of them had just returned from a tour of Ferrari, and also took in the "Panini Collection". One of them had a few photos, including one of a Maserati 250f. (my favourite). My initial thoughts were it ...
