Salvadori June 1954 Silverstone meeting into 2nd place (when the car had the 1953 air intake partially blocked), Dennis Poore set a class record with the car at Prescott and Salvadori drove the car to 5th place at Aintree in October (by when the nose had been reprofiled to incorporate the smaller 1954 air intake).
Salvadori finished 7th at the May Silverstone meeting and it was driven by Collins/'B. Bira' at Le Mans(crashed.) rebuilt for 1955 with 'Gothic Arch' open body, Girling disc brakes and Borrani offset wheels and registered 62 EMU.

During practice, however, Roy Salvadori came within six seconds of Ascari's qualifying time in the Ferrari 500, which was considered reasonably close considering the disparities between the Ferrari and the Connaught.
In the end, Claes was out after 7 laps with fuel line problems, Salvadori retired on lap 34 with throttle problems and although Fairman and McAlpine were still running at the finish they had not accumulated enough laps to be classified, a quiet end to the Grand Prix portion of the 1953 season.
It was wet and Salvadori retired his Connaught on the first lap and Ken McAlpine, who was driving his trusty A1 slid off the course on lap 8 and overturned A1 into an earthen bank, no doubt adding to the Patron's growing disenchantment with Team Connaught as the 1953 season came to an end.

There was one thing certain at the end of the race, that on the day no other driver of the present could have lived with Moss, and it is doubtful whether another driver of any previous era could have beaten him.
And incredibly the next car was Moss, who had raced down the outside of the field from the back of the grid, nipped back between the markers, and popped into seventh place.
An eager Salvadori jumped at the opportunity and snatched fourth as Bandini extricated himself from the hay bales, losing two laps in the process.
