This rare original silvered bronze medal was awarded to Philippe Etancelin for taking first place in the #9 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 LM he co-drove with Luigi Chinetti to win Le Mans.

The large vintage bronze plaque measures around 9 x 7″ / 23 x 18cm and has a wonderful patina. It sits within a custom 12 x 10″ felt lined presentation box, and the last image below shows Robert Benoist holding a similar award within its box, right after his 1937 Le Mans victory in the Bugatti (we sold this winner’s medal years ago)!

At this historic 1934 event, Chinetti and Étancelin held on to win comfortably overall, with the second-biggest margin to date a 180 km /110 mile lead. On top of this, they used chewing gum to plug a puncture that developed in the fuel tank!

• This historically significant gem of course includes our lifetime certificate, and a second letter from the Etancelin family.

Celebrating their 60th Anniversary in 2007, Ferrari organized a ‘Ferrari 60th Relay’. It kicked off on January 28th in Abu Dhabi, and concluded in Maranello on June 24th. After traversing about 50 countries in 148 days the relay baton was passed around globally, even in the hands of Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa. The central theme was technological innovation pioneered by Ferrari in the 60 years of its existence. For the occasion, Ferrari assembled its 60 most important innovations, ranging from aluminum pliers for disc brakes to the electric differential and the F1 gearbox.

• The special large baton for the Ferrari 60 Relay was specially created to symbolize the history of the company, from its first success at the 1947 Rome GP to the 2006 FXX.

Select clients were invited to carry and ‘relay’ the baton around the world in their Ferraris. In commemoration of the grand event, Ferrari manufactured and offered for sale 500 numbered examples of this wonderful masterpiece, of which ours is number 131.

The Ferrari Relay Baton is made from turned, lacquered aluminum and bears 60 enameled symbols representing the most significant events in the company’s history. It was created by designers Marosini & Mezzanotti and manufactured by VeCa using F1 technologies with assistance from Editalia Gruppo & Zecca dello Stato on the symbols.

• A strictly limited edition of just 500 numbered batons were made in all, and it sold out immediately back in 2007, with apparently less than 10 coming to North America!
• Dimensions: Baton – 33 x 3″ / 83 x 8cm; Pedestal 11.5 x 11.5 x 1″ / 29 x 29 x 3cm and Weight; 16.5 lbs / 7.5kgs.  (VGC1) (VGC)

Ascari won the Gran Premio Ciudad de Buenos Aires January 30, 1949 in a Maserati 4CLT driving for Scuderia Ambrosiana.  At this race Ascari showed his prowess by achieving Pole Position and also recording a track record for the Palermo circuit, as well as besting the great Fangio on his home turf.

His words best describe his anxiety regarding the feat – When I succeeded in beating Fangio, I was really scared. Half a million spectators were watching the race and I knew I wasn’t their favourite. As I approached the finish line a crowd of people surged toward me. I had never seen anything like it! I thought they wanted to lynch me. As soon as I crossed the line I jumped out of the car, ran into one of the garages, jumped over a fence and crossed one, two, three tennis courts at such a speed you’d have thought I was still in the racing car. The crowd followed me shouting. I hid in a car and stayed there a good quarter-hour. Quite a lot of time passed before I realized that they only wanted to put me on their shoulders and carry me in triumph!

This vintage 11.5″ / 29cm tall original metal trophy is is inscribed with the main sponsor ‘Premio – Casa Belluni’ and stamped ‘Industria Argentina’. It is in fine condition but some of the gold plating has worn and tarnished over the last seven decades.  (CSA27)
