SIGNED by LUIGI CHINETTI
Luigi Chinetti persuaded Enzo Ferrari to send two entries to Le Mans in 1949, the first year the Ferrari name appeared at the Sarthe. Partnered with Lord Selsdon, it was Luigi who drove for nearly 23 hours to record a historic victory – no mean feat for a man 47 years old. It was his third Le Mans victory, the first for a V12 engine and the smallest engine at 1995 cc to win at Le Mans until the Porsche hybrid in 2015
