Equipment
Originally built as a 500 Formula 2, S N 0208, entry for Swaters Ecurie Francorchamps, many good results including Swaters win at the Berlin GP in 52. Rebuilt by factory in 55 as a 625 F1 car and renumbered 0540 for Portago. Known history since, many historic events, race ready with current FIA papers.
Market commentary
A neat car, with a good racing history, that should give its new Swiss owner much satisfaction both with the car and the realistic price paid, some 15% below Brooks low estimate.
