MotorsportMemorabilia 1957 Grand Prix commemorative cover signed CARROLL SHELBY

Cover No 8 features the invincible Juan Manuel Fangio at the wheel of the Maserati 250F at the 1957 Monaco GP with Vanwall VW(57) driven by Tony Brooks in close pursuit; together, they saw off all the competition, who finished at least one lap behind. Fangio won the World Championship for a record fifth time in 1957 but the new Vanwall with Moss and Brooks at the wheel, provided stiff competition.

CARROLL SHELBY, who also drove the Maserati 250F in Formula 1, has signed the extra-special. His performance in the American Sports Car Championship was momentous, winning 27 races in one season (19 consecutive) but it will be the famous Shelby name, allied to the Cobra and the Mustang that will make this version an absolute must for collectors. Furthermore the fund raising venture for Papworth Hospital is based on their heart transplant for Carroll Shelby that saved his life and enabled him to live normally.
