Jim Kimberly Ferrari Memorabilia
Vintage 1950 photo of Ferrari 166 MM Touring Barchetta S/N 0010M.
This photo was shot at the 1950 6 Hours Sam Collier Memorial race at Sebring, Florida, USA.
The car in question was previously owned by Scuderia Ferrari who had entered it in the 1949 Mille Miglia and Luigi Chinetti who entered it amongst others in the 1949 24 Heures du Mans.
After Chinetti, it went to Jim Kimberly who was the one who entered it in the race shown here.
Kimberly drove the car together with his mechanic, Marshall Lewis.
The car survives to this day in excellent condition.
The photo measures some 6.5 x 4.5 inches and is in excellent condition.
There are NO references to a possible photographer.
This is a vintage print, i.e. printed shortly after the original image was captured on film.
Only 1 available.
Vintage 1953 Photo of Ferrari 225 Sport Tuboscocca S/N 0220 ED before the start of the 1953 12 Hours of Sebring.
This is a vintage 1953 photo.
It shows the 225 Sport Vignale Spider of Jim Kimberly.
Jim dropped out of the race with gearbox trouble in lap 95.
In 1964 the car was severely damaged when the shed where it was stored was hit by lightning. The car has consequently been cut up and the remains are allegedly burried under what is now a freeway.
A rare opportunity to acquire a vintage image of this important Vignale Ferrari and which is only scarcely documented.
The photo measures some 10.5 x 7 cm or 4 x 3 inches (excluding the border) and is in mint condition.
It carries NO photographer's stamp on the back.
1951 Ferrari 30 Anni Di Esperienze Brochure.
I have seen this brochure being called "The Holy Grail of Ferrari Brochures"... Maybe that is a little bit over the top but how many of you have actually seen one of these, let alone have it in your collection?
We are very proud to be able to offer this very good (yet fragile!) example of this VERY scarce and famous brochure.
The brochure elaborates on the 3 models that Ferrari produced in those days:
and next to a good number of drawings, including the famous "photo" of Jim Kimberly, it lists engine and chassis details.
It unfolds to 4 double-sided panes and is in full color.
It is in very good condition, but as mentioned above, has fragile seams of which one has split.
Remember... the Ferrari company as such was only 3 years old at that time yet Enzo was using his experience as race team manger at Alfa Romeo and ownership of Auto Avio Costruzzioni to boost the reputation of Ferrari as a car maker.
