The first is a 1953 Ferrari 500\/625 (Chassis No 0210F), which was raced by Guido Mancini, Alejandro de Tomaso and Giorgio Scarlatti as part of the Scuderia Centro Sud.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Ferrari 500\/625 originated at a time when unsupercharged 2-liter Formula 2 races qualified for Drivers\u2019 World Championship points. In these cars, Ferrari\u2019s brilliant driver Alberto Ascari won nine Grand Prix races in a row to clinch two consecutive World titles. This customer-specified four cylinder Ferrari \u201cStarlet\u201d, however, was seldom used by its first owner Antonio Checacchi, before being raced by Guido Mancini in the 1954 Rome GP at Castelfusano, and later by Giorgio Scarlatti and the Centro Sud team in 1955\u2013\u201956. Later, in the 1957 Buenos Aires GP, it was campaigned by none other than Alejandro de Tomaso. This unique racecar was rebuilt in the United Kingdom with a full 1954\u2013\u201955 2.5-liter Ferrari 625 Formula 1 engine for rock musician Eric Stewart.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The other special monoposto to cross the block at Bonhams is the Ex-Giuseppe Campari, Count \u201cJohnny\u201d Lurani 1933 Maserati 2-liter, 4-cylinder, Monoposto 2000 (Chassis No 2011). This one-off works Maserati was one of the earliest centerline single-seat racing cars to compete in a Grand Prix class race. In the 1933 Coppa Ciano race, on the demanding Montenero circuit in Livorno, Italy the car finished 3rd driven by the legendary opera-singing driver Giuseppe Campari. Subsequently, Count \u201cJohnny\u201d Lurani campaigned 2011 in Europe\u2019s highest altitude mountain climb, The Stelvio. This car was later sold to private owner\/driver Berrone. Subsequently, this car featured prominently for many years at Britain\u2019s famed National Motor Museum at Beaulieu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more information on either car, or the Quail sale in general, contact Mark Osborne at (415) 391-4000 or go to www.bonhams.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/08\/n2-200408-p2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-693141 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/08\/n2-200408-p2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/08\/n2-200408-p2.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/08\/n2-200408-p2-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/08\/n2-200408-p2-1024x546.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/08\/n2-200408-p2-100x53.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/08\/n2-200408-p2-770x411.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/08\/n2-200408-p2-293x156.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On August 13, Bonhams and Butterfields will offer two very rare Italian single-seaters for sale at their Quail Lodge auction.
