Please note that we have digitally erased the name and address of the owner but that this data is legible on the original document.

It is highly interesting to see that this owner is not mentioned in the available registers...

The car, S/N 0751GT, survives to this day in the USA.

This is a 1950's brush which I believe wasn't made or issued by Ferrari themselves but by a 3rd party, most probably a coachbuilder.

It is about 6 inches or 15 cm long.

The base is made of white celluloid with the Ferrari logo in relief on the top.

Good condition for its age.

Would make a GREAT accessory for you vintage Ferrari!

Only 1 available.

This is an absolute rarity!

It is a worksheet from "Auto Avio Costruzzioni, Enzo Ferrari, Modena".

When Enzo Ferrari left Alfa Romeo, he had to sign a clause which forbid him to be active in motor racing under his own name. Since Enzo still wanted to follow his passion, he founded Auto Avio Costruzzioni or AAC which in 1947 would form the basis of the modern Ferrari company as we still know it today.

Very thin gauge blue-ish paper with printed AAC logo complete with prancing horse in the left top corner. Header in the top right corner and two columns on the rest of the page headed "Causale" (Cause) and "Esito" (Outcome).

Good condition for age but does show a degree of yellowing due to age on the borders and minor fraying at the edges.

When was the last time you saw one of these for sale?

Guaranteed to be an original.

It measures approximately 9 x 11 inches.

Only 1 available.

What a fantastic piece this is!

Apparently, Tazio was doing very well in the immediate post-war era as apparently he had lend a sum of money to a Mr. Pighi in Castel d'Ario (a village some 11 miles from Tazio's home in Mantova, Italy) and apparently the legal interest rate had been raised on December 23, 1947 and on January 30, 1948 Tazio sent this letter (registered with return receipt!) to Mr. Pighi informing him that he will be held to pay the increased interest rate.

HIGHLY interesting!

Tazio signed it in full in black ink.

It is in excellent condition and comes complete with the original envelope.

Only 1 available of course as every autographed item is unique and we provide a Certificate of Authenticity with it which guarantees that this is a genuine signature.

This is a great VINTAGE poster for the 34th running of the Targa Florio / 10th running of the Giro di Sicilia.

It urges you to buy the race program which is available at every news stand and costs a mere 30 Lira.

It is printed on very thin paper and is in excellent condition bar a small tear at the top (visible in the scan) and two tape marks from being displayed in 1950. Folded as original but stored flat for decades.

Maybe the only one left in the world?

The race was won by Mario & Franco Bornigia on Alfa Romeo 8C-2500 Sperimentale.

Second place was for Inico Bernabei & Tulio Pacini on Ferrari 166 MM (S/N 0036M) which survives to this day) while third place went to Baron Stefano La Motta (would get killed the next year at the same event...) & Gennaro Alterio on Ferrari 166 S (S/N 0011S) which was scrapped after La Motta was killed in it).

The poster measures some 69 x 50 cm or 28 x 20 inches and was printed in Palermo (where else?).

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: 

• Ferrari 212 Export
• Ferrari 195 Inter
• Ferrari 340 America

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.

Language: Italian

Merritt reference: Page 69.

This is of course a vintage original and we only have 1 available.

A great piece of automobilia that would be the jewel in the crown of any classic car garage, office or den!

It measures approximately 26 x 35 or 10 x 14 inches and is made of plastic.

GREAT condition as visible in the photo.

Only 1 available.

Alberto is one of the most famous Ferrari racing personalities of the 1950's, having been crowned Formula 1 worldchampion 1952 (winning ALL 6 races in Europe, his attempt at the Indy 500 failed after 40 laps...) and 1953 and is 1 of only 2 Italian Formula One Worldchampions.

Alberto also won the 1954 Mille Miglia.

One of his most famous moments is probably the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix where he launched his Lancia D50 into the Monaco harbour!

One week later, May 26, 1955, while testing a Ferrari sports car at Monza, he crashed fatally at the Curva di Vialone which would later be renamed the "Variante Ascari" in his honour.

This business card measures some 10.5 x 7 inches (approximately 4 x 3 inches), is in good condition for its age (bar 2 staple holes) and carries the handwritten text "Ringraziando Vi contraccambio vivamente" which roughly translates into "I kindly thank you in return".

Only 1 available.

This Ferrari owners manual contains 24239 pages which elaborate on the owning, driving and maintaining these Ferraris with countless fold-out pages, drawings and diagrams.

Language: Italian.

Printed in 1952 by Stablimento Poligrafico Artioli, Modena, Italy.

This manual has been originally supplied with a Ferrari near Milano, Italy as it was "rescued" from a villa that was being demolished. Unfortunately, the other documents of the car that this manual belonged to were not saved and tossed in a fire... so we will never know which Ferrari it was...

To the inside of the front cover is a card stapled of Magneti Marelli with the warranty terms for amongst others the battery and service addresses.

ULTRA, ULTRA scarce, especially in such good condition.

Heliograpfic drawing.

Drawing Nr. 1121, dated October 1953.

Marked "Quote di Massima Schema di Abilitabilita" which means as much as "Internal car cockpit measurements".

Vintage original, NOT a modern copy!

This blueprint measures approximately 15 x 13 inches with slightly irregular borders.

Slight yellowing but that only adds to the patina of this VERY, VERY rare piece of Ferrari history.

Here we have a historically VERY important Scuderia Ferrari item.

This is the original contract that Enzo Ferrari signed with Maurice Trintignant to become a Ferrari works driver in the 1954 season.

The contract is dated March 16, 1954 and covers the terms and conditions under which Trintignant will race.

To make this letter extra special, the back shows the prolongation for the 1955 season.

During these two years, Maurice Trintignant competed in 16 F1 Grand Prix for Scuderia Ferrari, raking up 1 win (Monaco 1955), 2 second places and 1 third place plus winning the 1954 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Enzo signed both the original contract on the front as well as the 1955 continuation on the back.

Comes complete with a contemporary portrait photo of Maurice Trintignant.

We can not express how rare such an item is and how important it is in the history of the Ferrari racing team.

Only 1 available of course as every autographed item is unique and we provide a Certificate of Authenticity with it which guarantees that this is a genuine signature.

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

This medal was given to Mike Hawthorn for competing in the 1954 Syracuse Grand Prix.

Mike drove a Ferrari 625 in this Grand Prix which he crashed and he sustained serious burns to his arms and legs in this accident.

This is what Road & Track wrote about the accident in 1954:

"....Marimon in a Maserati drove too close to the right side of the track and sent up a shower of hay. Blinded by the flying chaff, the second place car, a Ferrari with Hawthorn driving, crashed against the safety wall and the car caught fire. Gonzales, about seven feet behind Hawthorn, piled into the Englishman's car, careened and went into the wall. Both cars were destroyed by the flames and Hawthorn was taken to the hospital....".

Shown below is a photo from R&T of the scene of the accident.

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

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

Measures approximately 1.25 inches in diameter and is made of 18 carat gold.

Large fold-out brochure for the 250 Boano as decribed in Richard Merritt's book on page 131.

Language: English.

Generally more than excellent condition but has punched holes for archiving (see scan).

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!

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.

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.

The handwritten text on the back reads "Grazie 12/5/63" and is signed by Enzo in his characteristic violet ink.

The card is in very good condition but has a slight fold down the middle and it looks like two drops of water have been spilled on the back, one hit the "5" in the date, the other the "a" in the signature (see scan).

Nevertheless, a VERY rare card in VERY presentable condition.

Only 1 available of course as every autographed item is unique and we provide a Certificate of Authenticity with it which guarantees that this is a genuine signature.

This official Ferrari factory issued postcard from 1965 of a portrait of Lorenzo Bandini has been signed by Bandini himself on the back at Christmas 1965.

Lorenzo wrote on the back: "Auguri Natale 1965" + his signature.

It was to be his last Christmas in this world as Lorenzo was a Ferrari factory driver until he met his untimely and dramatic end at the 1967 Monaco Grand Prix some 17 months later...

The card is in decent condition but does have a few wrinkles as visible in the scan.

Only 1 available of course as every autographed item is unique and we provide a Certificate of Authenticity with it which guarantees that this is a genuine signature.

Here we have a VERY special and TOTALLY unique item albeit not of Ferrari origin but since Pedro Rodriguez was such a prominent Ferrari personality, we felt it was appropriate to feature this item here.

In the 1967 season, it was quite normal for hot-shot Formula 1 drivers to also compete in the Formula 2 championship and so did Pedro Rodriguez eventhough he was a Cooper works F1 driver at that time.

On August the 20th, 1967 Pedro drove the Ron Harris entered Protos Cosworth F2 in the "Gran Premio del Mediterraneo" at the Enna track on Sicily.

The Protos F2 was quite a special car which was designed by Frank Costin with a chassis that was largely made of wood and which featured an enclosed cockpit!

During the race, Pedro was battling it out with Jean-Pierre Beltoise for second place, lost it and crashed the car heavily, thus smashing it to matchwood!

According to the person that salvaged this steering wheel from the wreck, it was, apart from the engine(!), the largest surviving part of the car!

During the crash, Pedro was launched from the car, still strapped in his seat and so passed leader Jackie Stewart who later stated that he had never been challenged for the lead in a race by someone without a car...

Amazingly enough, Pedro only suffered a broken heel in this massive crash.

Ray Buckley, who was the team mechanic at the Ron Harris racing team salvaged the steering wheel and later, when he was employed by the Hesketh F1 team, passed it on to David Phelbs who had it mounted as presented and offered for sale now.

The steering wheel gives a good impression of how massive this shunt must have been....

The front of this mounting shows of course this very original steering wheel, a photo of Pedro and a caption.

The rear shows the declaration of David Phelbs and how he got to this steering wheel + a copy of an interview with Pedro on this shunt.

Along with it comes an original copy "Autosport" with a write up on the race and the accident.

Truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire such a unique item in such unmolested condition (after all, this is how it came out of the crash!) with such excellent provenance.

Only 1 available.

Ronnie sent this letter, on his personal letterhead, on August 28, 1968 to the Automobile Club of Milano Italy, applying for a Formula 3 race which would take place on September 22, 1968 at Monza race track, only a good year before he would move into Formula One.

The left, blue, bar shows his achievements between 1962 and 1966 in racing and on the bottom a three pictures of Ronnie racing in various classes, including karting.

The second page shows his achievements in Formula 3 in 1967 and 1968.

The letter is of course signed by Ronnie himself.

Tragically, Ronnie would die of his injuries sustained at the starting grid pile-up during the 1978 Italian Grand Prix at that very same Monza circuit...

TRUELY UNIQUE!

The typed text on the back reads "Ringraziamenti e cordiali saluti, Modena, 8 Febbraio 1972" and is signed by Enzo in his characteristic violet ink. The text translates into as much as "Thank you and best regards".

The Mario Andretti signature on the back is printed.

Only 1 available of course as every autographed item is unique and we provide a Certificate of Authenticity with it which guarantees that this is a genuine signature.

This is ca. 1981 Giacobazzi Lambrusco sponsor ashtray that was signed by Gilles with a black marker.

Gilles Villeneuve signed items are very, VERY rare and we are happy to be able to offer this definitely out-of-the-ordinairy piece.

The ashtray measures some 5.5 x 4.2 inches or 14 x& 11 cm.

Only 1 available of course as every autographed item is unique and we provide a Certificate of Authenticity with it which guarantees that this is a genuine signature.

This is a rather sad document that Ferrari issued prior to the Belgium Grand Prix in which Gilles Villeneuve would so sadly perish in qualifying in his Ferrari 126.

This rather simple, but highly original, document was issued to the press and informs about Ferrari's view of this race, which cars they brought (including a 126/C2 "scorta" or "t-car") and a map of the track including Gilles' shifting points. Of course, it also mentions Didier Pironi.

Little did everybody know what a dramatic turn of events would take place here...

This is the only one we have ever had of this particular race and we are inviting serious offers on it through info@ferraristuff.com.

1 Sheet, double sided.

Factory original issue.

These mounted GTO pistons are VERY rare as only a few were made for "Highly appreciated friends of La Ferrari" and potential buyers of a 288 GTO.

Excellent condition.
