2529 - The third and last of the 1957 works 'Tipo 2'/ 'lightweight' cars, 2529 was delivered in late 1956. One of the famous of all the 250F series, it was the chassis used during Fangio's epic drive at the Nürburgring against Hawthorn and Collins in 1957. It was then sold in 1958 to Giorgio Scarlatti. Scarlatti then, in turn, sold it to Joakim Bonnier. In 1959, 2529 went to the Camoradi USA team and retained in the US. Originally thought to be the Bob Drake car used at the 1960 US GP.
