Argentine Temporada 1947-1955

Thank you both for directing me to two magnificent references which it will take me ages to digest. One thing I have noticed is the lengthy debate about Chico Landi's car in the 1951 Italian GP. This is a fascinating subject, because I have a photograph which shows the team cars all lined up in the pitlane, headed by the two new 'Camelli' 375s with their high headrest tails. Tucked into one corner is a battered-bodied 12-plug car with the characteristic even-spaced exhaust primaries of that model - as distinct from the unevenly-spaced primaries of the developed 24-plug types. This car is plainly the same 'muletto' with which Gonzalez won that year's British GP, and so impressed Ascari that the team leader insisted upon the same car for the German GP - and won again. This is the car I believe that was entrusted to Landi - in return for a lot of Brazilian silver - for that GP. The old lady was utterly clapped out, and it gave up the ghost on the opening lap.
The 'Camelli' cars were driven in this race by Ascari and Villoresi, Ascari winning. Ferrari drew the AC Milano's bounty for having run 'new model' cars in their national Grand Prix. These cars were, I believe, chassis numbers '1' and '2' because they were presented as 'the forthcoming year's 1952 models'. Check 'Motor Sport' for its report on the British GP and you'll see that Bill Boddy quoted Gonzalez's winning car chassis serial, I believe from memory, as 'No 2'.
The 'Camelli' cars sold to Rosier and Landi for 1952-53. The Rosier car was later rebodied as a centre-seat sports and sold in New Zealand. In the 1980s it was restored to Monoposto form and - from its NZ road import papers which cited its chassis number as 'No 2' the new owner concluded that this had been the 1951 British GP winning car. My contention that this claim was nonsense and that the car was in fact, in effect, chassis '2/52' triggered a fair-sized explosion. Sadly in restoration somebody had seen fit to replace the worn original chassis plate, and on the replacement the number '2' was engraved (1) in a non-Ferrari form, not stamped in their distinctive large-sized serif numerals. If the old muletto survived at all, I suspect it may have been developed into the distinctive works car used by Ascari in non-Championship F1 races in 1952-53 - taken eventually to Argentina - then part-cannibalised and forgotten. I have always believed this car is likely to have been that which fetched up with Albert Obrist and which was wheeled out for some German World Champion to demonstrate at Silverstone pre-GP last year.
