We are pleased to be able to offer for sale this fabulous piece of motoring history:

This plaque was given to Mike Hawthorn for competing in the 1958 Portugal Grand Prix at Porto race track.

Mike drove a Ferrari 246 and set the second fastest qualifying time behind Stirling Moss in his Vanwall. During the race, Mike set the fastest lap time (almost 2 seconds faster than Moss's pole time!) but still came in second after Moss.

This was of course all in Mike's Championship Winning year and it was the second to last time that Mike would race in a Grand Prix...

This is what Mike said after the race:

"I was upset to find that my race number was 22. Both Pete [Collins] and Luigi [Musso] had been killed on cars with 2 as their number, and the sight of 22 on mine really put the wind up me. I rushed off to Tavoni and asked if I might have 24, which was Taffy's number, and he and Taffy both agreed; only the numbers were changed, not the actual cars."

This medal went straight from Mike's estate, in 1959, to an important collector from whom we acquired it.

A truly unique opportunity to acquire a piece of memorabilia from Hawthorn's personal possession.

It measures approximately 3.4 x 1.5 inches.

Only 1 pc. available.

Wolfgang qualified 11th. and managed as high as 6th place in the race before he had to give up in lap 59 out of 75 with engine trouble.

It measures approximately 8 x 4.5 inches.

It is in mint condition and does not carry any photographer's reference.

Only 1 available.

This is a vintage 1958 photo of Peter Collins and Mike Hawthorn during the victory lap of Mike after winning the 1958 Grand Prix de France at Reims race track.

Mike scored a hatrick at this race with pole position, fastest lap and race win.

Peter Collins came in 5th.

It was the last race of Juan Manuel Fangio's career (4th on Maserati) and neither Peter Collins nor Mike Hawthorn would live to race at Reims again...

It measures approximately 18 x 13 cm or 7 x 5 inches and carries NO copyright stamp on the back.

Excellent condition.

Only 1 available.

Peter qualified 4th. and was battling for the lead in the race when he clipped a bank, somersaulting the car at over 100 MPH over a hedge and down into a field. Collins was flung from the car. He died soon after in a hospital in Bonn of severe head trauma.

It measures approximately 4.75 x 6.75 inches.

Mint condition and it does NOT carry any photographer's reference on the back.

Unfortunately it is unknown where the photo was taken but judging by the back drop, this could very well be the Italian Grand Prix at Monza where Mike finished second behind Tony Brooks on Vanwall.

The photo measures some 13 x 18 cm or 5 x 7 inches and carries a copyright stamp on the back.

This is a vintage print, i.e. printed shortly after the original image was captured on film and is in more than excellent condition.

Only 1 available.

This lot consists of two photographs taken in the paddock preceeding the 1958 Race of Two Worlds (or Monzanapolis) on June 29, 1958.

The first photograph shows Mike in his # 12 Ferrari 246 and the second shows the same car surrounded by the crowd.

The race of Two Worlds was basically an exhibition event to show both American and European teams to the public and was held in 1957 & 1958 at the banked track of Monza.

These photographs date from the 1958 event and quite an event it was for Ferrari!

In the first heat (of 3) Luigi Musso succumbed to the methanol fumes and handed his car over to Mike Hawthorn in lap 27. Musso returned to the wheel in the last lap and brought the car home in 6th place.

In the third heat, Mike suffered the same fate as Luigi did in the first and handed the car over to Phil Hill who brought the car up to third place before handing it back to Mike again.

All in all, not a great succes for Ferrari!

These are vintage photos, i.e. they were printed shortly after the image was captured on film.

Each photo measures some 10 x 7 cm or 4 x 2.75 inches and are in excellent condition.

The backs carry some notes but NO photographer's stamp.

Only 1 set available.

This was the first ever GP in the USA.

It measures approximately 7 x 5 inches.

Excellent condition.

About the car:

This is S/N 0004, built in 1958 and is of the small tube chassis frame variety.

This is the same car in which Luigi Musso had his fatal accident during the French Grand Prix held at Reims on July 6, 1958.

The car was raced extensively during the 1958, 1959 and 1960 seasons and was raced by the above mentioned Luigi Musso and further by Wolfgang von Trips, Phil Hill, Jean Behra (amongst others a win at the Aintree 200, 1959), Cliff Allison, Olivier Gendebien, Froilan Gonzales and of course Tony brooks.

The car was broken up at the end of the 1960 season but somewhere during the 1960's Sir Anthony Bamford of the UK acquired the engine from the factory. In 1980 Graypaul Motors created a replica of the car which now seems to reside in Japan.

About the race:

Tony qualified 4th with a time of 3'05.9 and finished the race in in 3rd position, a royal 3 minutes behind winner Bruce McLaren on Cooper Climax.

Only 1 available.

This vintage & original 1959 photo shows Jean Behra's Ferrari 246 blowing smoke as a piston is on the way out on July 5 1959 during the French Grand Prix at Reims.

Jean ran in 6th postition when a piston expired in lap 31 which put him out of the race.

This picture is one of the last there is of Jean as a Grand Prix driver as this was formally his last Grand Prix and he died less than a month later (on August 1, 1959) when he crashed his privately owned Porsche at the AVUS ring in Berlin.

The photo measures some 17.5 x 12.5 cm or 7 x 5 inches and is in good condition.

The back carries the stamp of the photographer.

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

This is a GREAT shot of Phil Hill in his Ferrari 246 en route to 5th place overall in the 1960 running of the BRDC International Trophy at Silverstone.

The car in question is S/N 0003 which was laid up after an extensive racing career in the mid 1960's and now seems to reside with Bernie Ecclestone.

There are no clues to who shot the photo nor are there any copyright notices on the back of it.

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

Dimensions: approximately 4.5 x 3.5 inches or 11 x 9 cm.

A GREAT item of this gentleman-driver who died at the wheel of his Ferrari Dino 246 while battling it out with his team mate Mike Hawthorn in the opening stages of the 1958 French Grand Prix at Reims race track.

This is an official Ferrari factory issued postcard (issued in 1957) which is already VERY scarce by itself (and hence expensive!) but it is also signed by "Luigino" himself in blue biro making it a prime collector's item!

At some point in time this card has been stuck in an album from which it has been removed and it has some damage to the rear from the glue unfortunately which is visible in the scan.

TRUELY UNIQUE!

Will be shipped rolled, in a sturdy tube.
