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.

Vintage 1951 Photo of Ferrari 212 Export Touring Barchetta S/N 0102E Pietro Palmieri Giro delle Calabrie.
This is a tiny, but historically very important, vintage 1951 photo of Ferrari 212 Export 0102E with its then-owner Pietro Palmieri and codriver Vallechi on August 5, 1951 at the start of the Giro delle Calabrie which the duo would finish in 2nd place overall and first-in-class. This was the car's maiden race.
Palmieri raced the car once more after which it was sold to the Fox Studios in Hollywood who had the car rebodied by Autodromo in 1953 and used it in a movie.
The car still sports the Autodromo body today.
The original Touring body seems to have gone lost in the mists of time.
As far as we have been able to check, this is one of the very few, if not the only, known image of 0102E with its original Touring Barchetta body!
A truely unique opportunity to acquire a photograph of 0102E in its original guise.
The photo measures only some 4 x 5.75 cm (overall) and is in excellent condition for its age.
It does not carry any copyright stamps or clues towards the photographer.

If I am not mistaken, we see the Count himself at the wheel in this photo.
Sterzi partnered up with Nino Rovelli for the race but unfortunately the duo didn't make it to the finish line...
Apparently, the car was in a fire in the 1950's after which the engine and body got separated but both survive, albeit in different parts of the world.
The photo measures some 7 x 5 inches (18 x 12.5 cm) and is matt, somewhat Sepia-toned black & white. It carries NO copyright notice.

3 B&W photo prints of the Ferrari 500 of Charles de Tornaco, taken at the 1952 Grand Prix of Belgium at Spa Franchorchamps.
De Tornaco competed in only 4 Grand Prix (retirering in three of them!) and in 1952 he brought the Ecurie Franchorchamps Ferrari 500 home in 7th place.
There is very little know about the man who died at the tender age of 26 during a practice session for the 1953 Gran Premio di Modena in Italy at the wheel of this very same car.
The car is the "customer" Ferrari 500 F2 with S/N 0208 which was the very first Ferrari for Jacques Swater's Garage Franchorchamps and which was raced very extensively.
The prints are modern prints of vintage negatives but we don't have the negatives nor do we know who owns them or if they even still exist so only ONE set available.
Each of the prints measures 5.75 x 4 inches.
Only 1 set available.

This is a vintage July 1952 photo of the Ferrari 225S of Mr. Kleber, driven by Jean Lucas to victory in the Sables d'Olonne with race number 112.
It is interesting to see that the car carries the (painted) temporary Italian license plate on the front which reads "BO 11890" which was a carry-over from the previous Italian owner, Franco Bordoni.
This number contradicts other sources which mention "BO 11891".
Somewhere in the mid-1950's the car was exported to the USA where it apparently still resides.
The photo measures some 18 x 13 cm or 7 x 5 inches and is in mint condition for its age. There are NO references to the photographer.

It is in good condition for its age but, as mentioned, a bit hazy.

Vintage 1952 Photo of Ferrari 166 Inter Vignale Coupe S/N 0065S.
This is a vintage photo of Ferrari 166 Inter Vignale Coupe after it had been exported to the USA in 1952.
The car can be seen wearing a 1952 New Jersey license plate which is somewhat contradictory to the "official history" of the car which lists it as having been exported to Florida.
The car had previously been entered in the 1951 Mille Miglia, which it didn't finish, and although it appears to be in pretty good nick on the photo, closer inspection shows it to be somewhat battered.
Nowadays the cars seems to be residing in Italy again.
The photo measures some 12.5 x 10.5 cm (or 5 x 4 inches) and is in more than excellent condition for its age.

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.

In 1954 it was again rebodied, this time by Scaglietti and again as a Spyder.
In recent years it has been brought back to its Abarth body style again.
It seems to reside in the USA now.
The photo measures some 4 x 3 inches or 10 x 7 cm and is in excellent condition. The back carries the stamp of Randazzo in Palermo, Italy along with some penciled annotations.

Both cars, S/N 0294AM, the 340 MM Touring Spyder of Mike Hawthorn and S/N 0284AM, the 340 MM Vignale Spyder of Tom Cole survive to this day albeit with completely different bodies so this is a rare opportunity to acquire a vintage photo of these cars in their original shape.

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 Photo - Ferrari 195 Inter Vignale Coupe S/N 0099S.
This is a vintage photo of Ferrari 195 Inter Vignale Coupe in all its original splendour in ca. 1955 in the USA.
There is little known about the car except its original Italian owner and that it appears to have been in the USA as late as 1986. Nowadays the engine & chassis seem to have disappeared and the body, which was in pretty bad shape at one stage, is now on a 212 Europa Coupe (S/N 0269EU) which presumably resides in Australia.
In this picture the car sports a 1955 Massachusetts license plate and the setting appears to be correct for that period.
The photo carries a print date stamp of November 1970 on the RH edge.

One source mentions no further racing activities with it but we found some information that later on the car was apparently owned by Bill Thomasen of New Zealand who raced it quite extensively in NZ during 1960 & 1961.

Given the fact that the startnumber indicates the actual starting time (i.e. 727 started at 7.27 AM; 728 at 7.28 AM) Taruffi already made up 1 minute on Perdisa so this must be rather early on in the race and Perdisa even finds time to wave at the crowd.
Eventually none of the two cars & drivers would make it to the finish; Taruffi dropping out after exactly 5 hours, 4 minutes and 54 seconds with a broken oil pump and Perdisa a mere 15 minutes later for reasons unknown to us.
Both cars surive to this day.
