-Enzo Ferrari
A name that makes young boys dream of one day owning one of his incredible machines. Enzo Ferrari, born on February 18th, 1898, in Modena, Italy, was an Italian entrepreneur and race car driver. Growing up he had little formal education, but he was very interested in car racing. After loosing his father and brother to a virus, and his family business collapsing, he decided to follow his childhood dream and began racing. In 1929 he founded the ‘Scuderia Ferrari Grand Prix’ motor racing team and just after World War II Enzo began to build cars under his iconic Ferrari name. Ferrari is a brand now known around the world, who's cars are seen as an insignia of luxury and wealth.
Over the course of his lifetime, his cars won more than 4,000 races and claimed 13 world championships. In recognition of his accomplishments, he was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1994.
This incredible, museum quality piece, is a part of Ferrari History, and is dated February 1, 1952, only five years after forming his iconic Ferrari Company, and the first year Ferrari would win a Championship. We have never seen a letter, available to the public, of this level. This typed written letter, with official Ferrari logo letterhead, is addressed to Aldo Dacco, importer of “Champion Spark Plugs” and friend of Enzo Ferrari. Enzo speaks about Changes being made to the Official Ferrari Racing Team, and the importance of winning, but most importantly he mentions, maybe for the first time publicly in this letter, the new lineup of the Ferrari race team. This lineup includes Alberto Ascari, who would this year win his sixth consecutive grand prix to become F1 World Champion and give the Scuderia Ferrari its very first Drivers’ World title that year(1952). Enzo writes, “The official team remains defined as follows: Farina, Villoresi, Ascari, and Taruffi.”
This impressive document’s first page is a copy of the verso signature side. The signature page is original and beautifully hand signed by Enzo Ferrari, "Ferrari" in his signature purple pen.
Next to this letter we’ve included a photo of the great Enzo Ferrari standing next to one of his prized machines. Below and centered is a quote from Ferrari that he lived by;
“No one remembers who took second place and that will never be me."
