The photo shows not less than FIVE of the famous Ferrari 156 Sharknose cars in 1 single view!

This race would of course go down in hisory as one of the most dramatic ever as seconds after this photo was taken, the Ferrari of Wolfgang von Trips and the Lotus of Jim Clark would get tangled up and von Trips would lose his life in the resulting crash.

Going through the cars in the picture, starting at the bottom, we see the following drivers:

• # 36, Jim Clark, Lotus 21
• # 6, Richie Ginther, Ferrari 156 Sharknose
• # 2, Phil Hill, Ferrari 156 Sharknose
• # 8, Ricardo Rodriguez, Ferrari 156 Sharknose
• # 4, Count Wolfgang Berghe von Trips, Ferrari 156 Sharknose
• # 10, Jack Brabham, Cooper Climax
• # 44, Jo Bonnier, Porsche 718
• # 24, Graham Hill, BRM Climax P48/57
• # 32, Giancarlo Baghetti, Ferrari 156 Sharknose

It is amazing to see that only 1 (Sir Jack Brabham) out of the above 9 drivers is still alive today...

This photo measures a staggering 12 x 9.5 inches.

It is in mint condition for its age.

Please note that this photo is too big for our scanner so we had to digitally "stitch" two scans together to be able to present the total image. The horizontal line at the bottom of the image is a result of that. This is NOT visible in the actual photo!

The back carries the photographer's stamp.

Only 1 available.

Here we have a pretty unique set of documentation... it is the complete set of items collected and drawn up during the 1962 1000KM race at Paris by German motorsports journalist Alfred Brinkmann.

Not less than 16 (!) Ferrari 250 GTO's in the entry list for the event and amazingly enough, the race was won by Pedro & Ricardo Rodriguez on... Ferrari GTO!

The set consists of the following:

• Near mint race program book (some handwritten notes inside)
• 2 color photos + 1 color slide of the # 16 Ferrari 250 GTO (S/N 3445GT) of Nino Vaccarella & Carlo Abate up on the banking
• Press card
• A B&W (vintage) photo of the start
• Color photo + color slide of the pits area with the # 11 Ferrari 250 GTO (S/N 3647GT) of John Surtees & Mike Parkes being refueled
• A color slide of the Rogriguez brothers in the winning # 1 Ferrari 250 GTO (S/N 3987GT), looks to be before the race
• A stenciled page from the organizers with the best lap times in each class with handwritten notes by Brinkmann
• A B&W photo of the Rodriguez brothers looking on while their Ferrari is being tended to in the pits
• A B&W photo of the # 16 Ferrari GTO being tended to in the pits
• A stenciled page from the organizers with the final standings with lots of handwritten notes by Brinkmann on the back

A HIGHLY interesting set!

Only 1 (one) set available of course.
