Campari, who died in an accident at Monza in 1933, was the lead driver for the Alfa Romeo team in the early 1920s, along with Antonio Ascari. Campari took out the Coppa Acerbo three times, in 1927, 1928 and 1931, and also won the Mille Miglia in Brescia in two consecutive years: 1928 and 1929. He joined the Scuderia Ferrari team in 1929, along with Achille Varzi and Tazio Nuvolari.
In 1933, Campari moved to Maserati, where he became the teammate of Borzacchini and Fagioli. His career, and that of Borzacchini, ended on Sept. 10, 1933 at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. While leading the race, his Maserati skidded and crashed into a side wall. Borzacchini, who was close behind him, could not avoid Campari’s car, and crashed into it. Both drivers died instantly at the scene.
During his time as a race-car driver, Campari recorded 14 first places, 16 second places and 11 third places at all international race tracks. He was twice crowned Italian champion—in 1928 and 1931. He came in second in the European championship in 1931.
Another highlight will undoubtedly be the over 600 Porsche lots, which include rarities such as the original bodywork of a Porsche 917/10, the gear box of a Porsche 917, a rare 2-L 356 Carrera engine, and many parts for the Porsche 904. As always, there will additionally be a wide range of documents and catalogs.
The large number of Alfa Romeo sales catalogs and brochures from the prewar era is remarkable.
Automobilia Auktion Ladenburg’s automotive products generated great interest at the Techno Classica, namely the Porsche 356 Poroto Special, of which there are only four models, built by Otto Daetwyler between 1965 and 1969. The last of these vehicles, displayed here, bears chassis number 159830, delivered as a Porsche 356 SC, and was registered in Switzerland on May 1, 1969 as a Poroto Special. Daetwyler built the vehicle in the mid-1960s, based on the Porsche 904. The car features four disc brakes, and has only just been reconditioned.
This year’s spring auction covers more than 3,000 lots, and, for the first time, will also include a large number of spare parts.
