A superb and rare photo, made from what we believe is the original negative, of Alberto Ascari in his Ferrari race car, seen alongside Piero Taruffi and Dorino Serafini at the 1950 Spanish Grand Prix known at the Penya Rhin.

The Spanish (Penya Rhin) Grand Prix at the Pedrables Circuit in Barcelona on October 29,1950.  The paddock were of a temporary nature and crowd control was minimal.

Ferrari initially was founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929 as Scuderia Ferrari, the company sponsored drivers and manufactured race cars before moving into production of street legal vehicles in 1947 as Ferrari S.p.A.. Ferrari's cars are among the most desirable of vehicles to drive. Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation and incredibly passion in racing, especially in Formula One, where it has largely enjoyed great success, especially during the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, late 1990s, and 2000s. Finally, after years of financial struggles, Enzo Ferrari sold the company's sports car division to the Fiat group in 1969 in order to help ensure continued financial backing for the foreseeable future. Enzo Ferrari himself retained control of the racing division until his death in 1988 at the age of 90.

This is a very nice and very rare photo that reflects a wonderful era of Ferrari ‘s automotive history in a wonderful way.  This is your rare chance to own this photo, therefore it is printed in a nice large format of ca. 8" x 12" (ca. 20 x 30 cm).  It makes it perfectly suitable for framing.
