Vintage 1958 photo of Ferrari 500 TR S/N 0600MDTR & Aston-Martin DBR1/300 S/N 2, 24 Heures du Mans.
This is a vintage 1958 photo of the # 25 NART entered Ferrari 500TR of Pedro Rodriguez (driving here) & Jose Behra and the David Brown Racing Department entered Aston-Martin DBR1/300 of Maurice Trintignant (driving here) & Tony Brooks.
Unfortunately, neither car would make it to the finish line...
The Ferrari, S/N 0600MDTR, retired in lap 119 due to overheating. It survives to this day in the USA.
The Aston-Martin, S/N DBR1/2, also survives to this day and is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful Aston Martins ever. It went on to win the 24 Heures du Mans the next year in the hands of Roy Salvadori & Carroll Shelby.
As visible in the scan, the photo was taken in the POORING rain at the end of the start/finish straight and as a result of teh rain, the photo is not as sharp as it would have been in dry weather.
The photos is in mint condition, measures some 18 x 24 cm (7 x 9.5 inches) and carries the stamp of Yves Debraine on the back.
Only 1 available of course.
