It's the Scaglietti-bodied 1955 Ferrari 500 Mondial Series 1 of Thomas Mittler and has a twin overhead camshaft 4-cylinder inline 1,985cc engine designed by Aurelio Lampredi. That engine is a detuned version of the engine of the Ferrari 500 F2 car that won the 1952 and 1953 World Drivers' Championship for Alberto Ascari. Thomas Mittler's car is chassis 0474MD and was originally provided new to John von Neumann of California.
