The ALFA ROMEO 158 driven by Giuseppe "Nino" Farina won the first ever Formula One Championship Grand Prix race at Silverstone in 1950. Incredibly, it was designed and built by Scuderia Ferrari with the support of Alfa Engineers in the late 1937/8 and continued to dominate post-war racing until 1950. Viva Italia! (drawn 20Feb'20)

AUTHENTICITY : Each drawing is limited to 10 signed and numbered prints regardless of size and comes together with a certificate & 10SERIE 'medallion'

FRAME :

Profile : A 14 x 34mm (0,55 x 1.33inch) beveled profile made from Obeche (African Maple) which is depended upon for its stability and relative resistance to warping once machined. It is offered in either color black, white or our exotic African hardwood 'Kiaat'.
