Vintage Memorabilia

-XXVIII Targa Florio 1937 Circuito Parco della Favorita, Palermo Voiturette.
The 1937 Targa Florio winner's trophy, a large bronze plate measuring 21x16" and weighing 22 lbs. This rare trophy has a wonderful patina to it, with an embossed car followed by several horses. This race was won by Giulio Severi in a Maserati 6CM. The Targa Florio has a very special place in Maserati's history for it was in this race that the motor racing world first witnessed a car, adorned by the now famous trident, racing under the Maserati name. Similar TF trophies can be seen in the book "Piloti che Gente", on page 84. inquire.

4. Ditta Delucca & Vincenzi, 2A Coppa S.Marino", 1958. Highly polished silver, 15" tall. I think this was awarded to the winning Ferrari 250 GT TDF LWB Scaglietti Berlinetta #0647 GT, driven by Alberto Quadrio Curzio, but it may also be a 2nd place trophy for 250 GT LWB #0793 GT, driven by Giuliano Giovanardi, or a 3rd place trophy for 250 GT LWB #0899 GT, driven by Edoardoando Lualdi-Gabardi.

Bugatti

We have some very rare original Bugatti chassis blueprints made in the 1920s and 1930s.
Each one has been matted, framed and glazed. There are some small fold lines with veryslight paper loss along them that indicate that they are the real thing.  Some are dated on the front (although I haven't seen the backside of the drawings), and all of them have the design number and scale (1/10).  Dimensions are approx. 690mm x 475mm.  The ones available are the Type 40, 43, 44, 46 and 50.

Ferrari Factory Literature

email for details and prices

Two 1960 documents that are an original set of internal memorandums from Ing. Bizzarrini to Enzo Ferrari regarding 250 Testa Rossa #78(Scarfiotti/Rodriguez) regarding subsequent body modifications to increase this vehicle's overall top speed. In themselves they represent a truly unique perspective between Ferrari's top Engineer and Bizzarrini's own unique creativeness during a very special moment in the history of the Scuderia Ferrari. The two documents are in excellent original condition without folding, tears, stains, fading or discoloration. They have been framed and are available as a set. These are probably the only internal documents outside of the Factory's hands!
