Lot 516: A Collection of Italian Historic Motorsport Event Plaques

An assortment of seven lithographed metal motorsport event plaques, primarily relating to the Coppa Monza and Targa Florio rallies. The collection includes two red hexagonal plaques for the VIII Coppa Monza, featuring the Goodyear and Fina logos with race numbers 38 and 40, and a similar white plaque for the VII Coppa Monza bearing race number 18. Three yellow arched plaques for the IX and X Coppa Monza display the ASI (Automotoclub Storico Italiano) shield and the C.M.A.E. (Club Milanese Automotoveicoli d’Epoca) emblem, associated with Quattroruote and the Milanese historic vehicle club, with race numbers 4, 10, and 60. A white rectangular plaque with a red arched border is for the Targa Florio Storica, dated 10-13 Maggio 1973, associated with the Automobile Club Palermo and the Registro Italiano Alfa Romeo. The plaques are constructed from thin sheet metal with printed graphics and pre-drilled mounting holes. The reverse sides of the yellow plaques show a plain, unfinished metal surface.
