14. a genuine Enzo Ferrari signature on a card he sent to W.H.Lowes after one of his Grand Prix victories

Thanks for any help

 

Does the bloke you're talking about have the same surname as you?
....and yes,some of the stuff should'nt be given away,I suspect KIAI may have something to say on this matter.

 

No he does not have the same surname as me.

I purchased a set of Cavallino magazines off him some time back and we exchanged details.

He has just contacted me with the list above with which he would like to sell.

I would like some of the items, but not sure on price, looking for some help.

 

Quite funny that the majority of your posts are asking 'how much is this worth' as a 'friend has them for sale' or 'you are looking at buying them'.....

 

I'd like to know whether his dad is aware he is selling his stuff

 

Do a Google search on each title and you will find rough market value.
Last item is kind of cool for a Melbourne F-Car guy; but still not that valuable. Enzo signed a hell of a lot of stuff in his long, long life.

 

Someone from the LCV was attempting to vend a very eldery Enzo's wobbly signature on a maranello thank you card quite recently; in the purportedly correct violet ink for $1400.00

But as someone pointed out to me "what would you want it for" ?
(I'm still saving up for Elvis's signature)

I've had a scratch around & cant find the ad. Ho-Hum.

It would certianly look fantastic gold framed, in a designer garage full of stainless steel with lots & lots & lots of rosso corsa; not forgetting the mandatory scuderia shields on every available surface.

 

No worries
