At Imola 1955, the Gran Premio Shell on the 19th of June that is, a car with this racing number is not found in the entry list. The only 5 Ferrari entrants were Mondials which had the racingnumbers 56 (Taruffi), 58 (Maglioli), 60 (Shell), 64 (Taramazzo) and 66 (Munaron).

 

Must be Imola. The list you give shows the 18 starters. Not all the entrants.
As we have no numbers 50, 52 and 54, that matchs with the pic number 54...

 

Sounds logical.

 

But I thinks the car should be it (or for some 0404MD).

 

Looks the rear of the car : clearly still a 500 Mondial PF spyder, so Cortese spyder s/n 0406MD...

 

and the race 1954. 20/6/1954 Conchiglia d'Oro Shell - Imola


Umberto Maglioli 500 Mondial n° 36 1er

You know the year of this accident, it's Scuderia Centro Sud's Ferrari 500 TRC (s/n 0696MDTR).

Any ideas on this '212 Spider Vignale' from Portugal. Photo by António Cândido Taboada?

s/n 0086E...

 

YES! This was before it was converted into a station wagon!

One more, two lovely photographs of Masten Gregory at the GP of Portugal in 1957:

Not yet Centro Sud's but Serenissima's whose Venetian sticker can be distinguished on the side.

1962 yes but was do you mean by "1962 Antoine"?

 

..Antoine asked for the year Tom!

 

Antoine is my first name.

 

OK, thanks. Then I can't blame you on putting the TRC in that condition... Actually I think it's Giovanni Volpi himself who did it.

 

Hi do you have a s/n for this car. I have several other pics of this race including a race report but no s/n for the winning car. thanks tongascrew

 

290MM #0626

 

Just hope it doesn´t become a controversy, the following picture shows the starting grid and car 54 with Joao Rezende Dos Santos at the wheel.

We can see Sgorbatti's Osca MT4 number 20, Maria Teresa de Filippis's Maserati A6GCS number 12 and most probably Salvadori number 44 in the background.
So, 1955 Imola for sure...

Thanks for your always fantastic pictures !!

 

Yves Kaltenbach says that both Dos Santos and Leto di Priolo (0528) retired during the warm-up lap hence the absence of those cars in any race photos.

the sliver of rear fender at the right of the photo could be the FRB Munaron 500 Mondial, 0556(0446)MD.

 

Thanks!

 

How about this curiosity? Can't be 0086E:
