1952 Photo - Nino Farina - Ferrari 375 Indianapolis - Gran Premio del Valentino, Torino.
This is a fantastic shot of Nino Farina's Ferrari 375 Indianapolis after he crashed it on April 6, 1952 during the "Gran Premio del Valentino" in Turin, Italy.
Ascari had to retire from the lead with a mere 3 laps to go, giving the win to Luigi Villoresi while Piero Taruffi finished second in a Ferrari 625, Fischer finishing 3rd in Ferrari 212 and Peter Whitehead managing a 4th place in a Ferrari 125.
It measures some 8.5 x 6 inches (22 x 15 cm), is glossy black & white and appears to be a more recent print.
1952 photo of Nino Farina on Ferrari 500 - Grand Prix of Belgium - Spa-Francorchamps.
This 1952 photo shows Nino Farina en route to a second place on June 22, 1952 in the rain-soaked Belgian Grand Prix at Spa - Francorchamps.
The race was won by his team mate Alberto Ascari, also on Ferrari 500 while Piero Taruffi crashed his 500 in lap 13.
Louis Rosier dropped out of the race in lap 6 with transmission problems in his privately entered Ferrari 500 while Charles de Tornaco brought his Ecurie Francorchamps entered 500 home in 7th spot.
The photo measures some 20.5 x 15 cm or 8 x 6 inches and is in good condition.
It appears to be a modern print from the original negative.
Vintage 1952 Photo - Ferrari 500 - V Gran Premio dell'Autodromo di Monza 1952.
This is a vintage & original photo, taken by an unknown photographer, of the Ferrari 500's of Alberto Ascari (# 20) and presumably the # 24 of Nino Farina in the pits during the 1952 Formula 2 Grand Prix at Monza.
Although Alberto won the first heat, the camshafts of his Ferrari 500 failed in the second heat which effectively put him out of the race and Nino would go on to win the race.
The photo measures some 9.5 x 7 inches (24 x 18 cm) and is black & white.
1953 Photo - Grand Prix of Italy - Monza - Fangio, Ascari, Farina, Marimon - Ferrari - Maserati.
This is an original photo of Giuseppe "Nino" Farina on Ferrari 500, Alberto Ascari on Ferrari 500, Juan Manuel Fangio on Maserati A6GCM-53 and most probably Onofre Marimon also on Maserati A6GCM-53 during the final stages (maybe even the last lap!) of the 1953 Gran Premio d'Italia at the Autodromo di Monza.
Fangio would win the race ahead of Farina, Villoresi and Hawthorn, all on Ferrari.
The difference between Farina and Fangio was a mere 1.4 seconds while Villoresi and Hawthorn were 1 lap behind.
In the words of the Grand Master himself:Ascari, who stood between me and the victory I needed so badly, took the final curve very sharply and his Ferrari did a half spin. He was hit by Marimon. Farina, whom I had only just overtaken and was breathing down my neck, had to swerve to avoid hitting them. In that split second of danger I was through, winning literally in the 312th mile of a 312-mile race. There was such confusion when we crossed the line that the man didn't put down the chequered flag, so I did another lap with Farina behind me, but all the time I thought they had make a mistake. They say I was almost hysterical that day, and I'm not surprised, although as a rule I'm usually rather calm.
It measures some 9.5 x 7 inches (24 x 17.5 cm) and is black & white.
This appears to be a somewhat more recent print.
Vintage 1953 Le Mans Race Program.
In excellent condition but obviously used and a small corner or the top of the rear cover missing (see photographs). Blank lap sheet with some scribbling in the margins.
Fantastic artwork by world renowned motorsport artist Geo Ham on both the front and rear cover.
Unlike the previous years, the artist has decided to show a slightly more symbolic face of the event.
The scene looks like the exit of the Mulsanne hairpin while the water tower, which was built by the Germans during World War 2, can be seen in the background on the left.
The race was won by Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton in their Jaguar C-Type with a total of 304 laps to their name.
Unfortunately, Tom Cole Jr. met his untimely end when he crashed the Ferrari 340 MM Vignale Spyder (S/N 0284MM), which he shared with 1949 Le Mans winner Luigi Chinetti, in lap 175.
