Not sure I agree on the Maserati/Ferrari beauty contest verdict. Anyway, you are comparing a 1956 Maserati body with a 1959 or 1960 Ferrari. Your Ferrari looks a bit strange to me, it looks too trim around the cockpit and headrest compared all other photos I have seen, from 1958 to 1960.Originally Posted by ERC

Is this the ex Leuch car? Note the Gryphon on the scuttle of the Connaught.
The Ferrari is just as good looking at the 250F Maserati really! Seeing cars like this is why historic racing is so attractive compared to modern characterless single seaters.
Not sure on the Connaught, but I think all the Works 1957 cars had the Gryphon symbol on the scuttle. It isn't a faithful reproduction/reconstruction of the "Toothpaste-Tube" body to me.
Cast my vote for the 250F!
