This is an ORIGINAL Death Notice and funeral cards set of Wolfgang Reichsgraf Berghe von Trips.

• Thank you card by von Trips's parents. Measures approximately 7 x 4 inches with ragged-edge finish.

Unknown where and when this photo was taken but probably the early 1970's judging by the clothing of the people in the picture.

The car is the ex Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands Ferrari 250 SWB Sperimentale # 2613 GT.

At the time when this picture was taken, the car was most probably in possession of van Eldik in The Netherlands as the car no longer bears its "Royal" license plates but "normal" Dutch ones.

The car now seems to reside with Bob Lee in the USA.

The photo measures approximately 7 x 5 inches.

This is a vintage print, i.e. printed shortly after the original image was captured on film.

Only 1 available.

This poster is VERY scarce and we only have 1 available.

The photo shows not less than FIVE of the famous Ferrari 156 Sharknose cars in 1 single view!

This race would of course go down in hisory as one of the most dramatic ever as seconds after this photo was taken, the Ferrari of Wolfgang von Trips and the Lotus of Jim Clark would get tangled up and von Trips would lose his life in the resulting crash.

Going through the cars in the picture, starting at the bottom, we see the following drivers:

• # 36, Jim Clark, Lotus 21
• # 6, Richie Ginther, Ferrari 156 Sharknose
• # 2, Phil Hill, Ferrari 156 Sharknose
• # 8, Ricardo Rodriguez, Ferrari 156 Sharknose
• # 4, Count Wolfgang Berghe von Trips, Ferrari 156 Sharknose
• # 10, Jack Brabham, Cooper Climax
• # 44, Jo Bonnier, Porsche 718
• # 24, Graham Hill, BRM Climax P48/57
• # 32, Giancarlo Baghetti, Ferrari 156 Sharknose

It is amazing to see that only 2 out of the above 9 drivers are still alive today...

This photo measures a staggering 12 x 9.5 inches.

It is in mint condition for its age.

Please note that this photo is too big for our scanner so we had to digitally "stich" two scans together to be able to present the total image. The horizontal line at the bottom of the image is a result of that. This is NOT visible in the actual photo!

The back carries the photographer's stamp.

An a very simple and relatively small but oh so rare poster...

These posters could be seen hanging throughout the principality of Monaco prior to the race in 1961 but this one is a little more special...

This particular one is executed as a counter-top version and it is the very first one in this execution that we ever managed to lay our hands on.

This poster features the best logo we have ever seen with the racing car and "MONACO" perfectly integrated into it!

Rumour has it that this poster was banned by the organizers as they deemed the black background to be too morbid at that time. Maybe the rumour is true... but we don't have knowledge of an alternative poster for the 1961 Monaco Grand Prix... so...

The race was, famously, won by Stirling Moss on Lotus 18 ahead of Richie Ginther, Phil Hill and Wolfgang Berghe von Trips, all on Ferrari 156 Sharknose.

Considering its age, it is over half a century old, we dare to call this unusual Monaco "poster" to be in mint condition.

9.8 x 12.5 inches or some 25 x 30 cm.

Here we have an absolute rarity from the Ferrari factory!

This is a vintage & original Ferrari factory employee's pass dating from 1960.

These passes were needed for identification purposes.

The pass shows quite a lot of personal details of its former owner so we have digitally blocked these details in the picture. The item itself is of course untouched.

The pass was issued on July 11 1960 and prolonged for the next 5 consecutive years.

If you own a Ferrari which was manufactured during these years, it could very well be that this gentleman put the finishing touches on YOUR car!

An ULTRA scarce "Ferrari internal" item!

Only 1 available.

This is an older reprint of the factory first printing of the manual for the 250 GTE which was also delivered with the Ferrari 250 SWB, Ferrari 250 GT/L Lusso and Ferrari 250 Spyder California (outside plug engines).

This Ferrari owners manual contains 89 Pages.

This manual is clearly marked "FAC SIMILE" on the back cover to prevent it from being presented as the "real deal".

Perfectly suited to keep & use in your car while you keep the fragile original safely at home.

Please note that this is a reprint of more than excellent execution.

Only 1 available.
