Enzo supplied the 4 1/2 litre, V12 engine as used in the Silverstone Grand Prix winning Ferrari 375. Hand-built using Wood, Resin and plaited parts, this very impressive craft comes with a plaque signed by F1 drivers John Surtees, Kimi Raikkonen, Nigel Mansell and Jody Scheckter fitted to the stand.
