There was a Quattroporte Mk1 as well, anyone else see it? It was hidden away among the Lancias on the old finishing straight for some reason, and was in very nice condition. It was a great day, thanks also to the weather; biggest turn out I've seen for this meeting. I mentioned the Forum to several of the other Maserati drivers, who hadn't heard of it, including the chap trying to sell his 4200 so I pointed him here.
Didn't stay to see/hear the Dragon (pic 1 of AdamN's above) go up the hill. It was indeed a laugh but pretty unimpressive on the MB World parade lap I thought, maybe not firing properly (there's a lot to go wrong!). For those who didn't see it (from the Brooklands site): 1924 Delage chassis, powered by a 27-litre Isotta Fraschini V12 engine from a WW2 Caproni bomber: video of it starting up, which is the entertainment part, here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLmqpTs4afg - it was put together in 2010, so a bit of a mongrel to say the least. Brave man though. I loved the interview when the commentator asked him if he was nervous the first time he fired it up: he just said "yes".
The parade laps were odd yes: every big marque except Maseratis - just the pace car GTS they were using and the 3500 GT from a dealer (on sale for North of £300K, if anyone had some loose change lying around). No idea what the plan was there, but the cars were "invited". Who have we offended...?
