Ferrari 166 MM Touring BarchettaS/N 0010M1949
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.
1949 Ferrari 166 MM Brochure.
Here we have a very odd brochure for the 166 Mille Miglia which shows the 1949 24 Heures du Mans winning 166 MM Touring Barchetta (S/N 0010M) on the cover...
This brochure came from the estate of the late Richard Veen and it has been restored by him.
In fact, there is probably more of this brochure that can be considered "non-original" than there is original...
I'll try to sum up its condition using my best judgment.
The outside of the front page / cover is NON-original, it appears to be a photo copy on yellowish paper.
It is hard to say if the inside of the front cover is original. I think it is NOT original as otherwise there would be no need to replace the outside with a photocopy.
The rear cover + inside rear page ARE original BUT... somehow the Ferrari logo at the center bottom was cut out of it and Richard Veen replaced that with paper patches, copying the original print.
We find it extremely hard to pin a price to this piece so we are open to sensible offers which reflect both the rarity of the brochure AND its current condition.
Please contact us at the following email address if the brochure is worth something to you: info@FerrariStuff.com.
Vintage 1949 Le Mans 24 Hours Handbill.
These flyers were handed out at the race to spectators to show them around the track.
Scarce as most of them did not survive the race.
VERY good condition for its age.
The 1949 edition was the very first post WW2 24 Heures du Mans and it was won by Luigi Chinetti (with Lord Selsdon) in their Ferrari 166 MM Touring Barchetta S/N 0008MM with a total of 235 laps to their name.
The second Ferrari that was entered was the Ferrari 166 MM Touring Barchetta S/N 0010M of Jean Lucas & "Ferret" (Pierre Louis Dreyfus) which crashed out of the race after 53 laps.
For the full results of this race, please see 24 Heures du Mans results 1949.
Vintage 1949 Le Mans 24 Hours Race Program.
Excellent but of course used condition.
Comes complete with the lap chart and an Air France ticket from London to Paris for the race!
A GREAT set from the first post WW2 running of the 24 Heures du Mans.
The colour illustration on the cover is from the hand of Andre Galland, who would also draw the 1950 version and a good number of cover illustrations for the pre-war programs.
The postwar period was full of hope for all nations. The flags were present but this time they surrounded the globe in a fraternal spirit. The race was no longer supposed to be a source of rivalry but of solidarity.
New flags were present on the illustration. From left to right and top to bottom: The United Kingdom, Norway, Belgium, France, The United States, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Italy and The Czech Republic.
Only 1 set available.
