It's a 1949 Ferrari 166
chassis #011F that had been raced in the late 1940s and early 1950s in
Argentina by Juan Manuel Fangio and José Froilán Gonzáles. It was powered by a
1,995cc V12 engine designed by Gioacchino Colombo and was originally used in
Formula 2 racing, but became eligible for World Championship races when they
were contested by 2 litre cars in 1952 and 1953. The 'YPF' decal on the side of
the car denotes the Argentinian state energy company Yacimientos Petrolíferos
Fiscales.
