A £12 million Ferrari racing car once driven by track legends Sir Stirling Moss, Graham Hill and Innes Ireland has gone on show in Norfolk.

The 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Chassis 2735 is on display as part of a Classic and Supercar event at the Hoste hotel and spa in Burnham Market.

Brendan Hopkins, the hotel’s owner, said the Ferarri was just one of more than 30 on show at the ninth annual car show there.

Other vehicles in the line-up, which all together is worth more than £20 million, include a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, Bentley Speed 6, Ferrari 458 Spider and the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish SDP.

Ms Hopkins said: “We are delighted to welcome so many car enthusiasts, old and new, back to The Hoste. This event continues to grow every year and offers a one of a kind experience to passionate car enthusiasts from around the globe. This intimate event presents an unmissable opportunity to see the most extravagant and spectacular cars all in one place.”

The car show, which raises money for charity, started yesterday (Thursday, May 10), and concludes today.
