It's Alexander Boswell's 1952
Ferrari 625A, chassis #0482, originally a 2 litre Ferrari 500 that competed in
World Championship races in 1952 and 1953 with a 2 litre engine. When the
regulations were changed in 1954 to allow engines of 2½ litres the chassis was
extended, a 2,498cc engine fitted, and the car was redesignated a Type 625.
Later in 1954 a 2,942cc engine from a Ferrari 735 sports car was installed and
the car was subsequently acquired by Peter Whitehead who raced the car in
Australia in 1956 and 1957. It then found its way to the USA, via Argentina,
where it stayed till ending up with Alexander Boswell in 1999.
