1957a MASERATI 250F & VANWALL VW(57) MONTE CARLO signed MARIA-TERESA DE FILLIPIS

Cover No 8 features the invincible Juan Manuel Fangio at the wheel of the Maserati 250F at the 1957 Monaco GP with Vanwall VW(57) driven by Tony Brooks in close pursuit; together, they saw off all the competition, who finished at least one lap behind. Fangio won the World Championship for a record fifth time in 1957 but the new Vanwall with Moss and Brooks at the wheel, provided stiff competition.

The first special version is signed by MARIA-TERESA DE FILLIPIS who was the first lady ever to participate in a Formula 1 World Championship race, having driven a Maserati 250F on numerous occasions in her homeland of Italy.
