‘Silver Secrets I’
‘Silver Secrets I’ is the first in a collection showing different elements and angles of a Ferrari 750 Monza. In this one, the photo offers a downward view towards the engine, peeking at it over the visor.
With the light and lack of bonnet exposing the engine, we are able to see the true power of this mighty car.
The 750 prototype first made its debut in 1954 at Monza with an engine based on the Type 555 which delivered 260hp at 7200rpm.
Having a 3.0 litre, four cylinder double overhead camshaft engine with 250hp, giving strong torque, the 750 was a very competitive car. Taking both first and second in it’s inaugural race at the ‘Gran Premio Supercortemaggiore’ held at Monza, it quickly came bound to belong in the Ferrari Hall of fame.
This win, while giving it it’s name, was not the only one; during it’s time it took several wins, the most notable being the 1954 Tourist trophy. By 1956, Ferrari were able to get more potential from a four cylinder engine, leading to the 860 Monza and the 750 became a little more forgotten but it’s place in history was very much cemented.
During the weekend, it drove in the Ferrari parade and also in Freddie March Memorial Trophy driven by none other than Karun Chandok.
‘Silver Secrets II’
Giving a different angle to the Ferrari 750 Monza, ‘Silver Secrets II’ shows the front of the car, from the iconic headlights, the Ferrari badge and being able to see the just the top of the four cylinder engine.
While silver is a key word in the title, the Monza’s blue streaks on it’s front leading to a line that goes all the way to the back was made the car stand out so much on track, bordered by white lines.
Leading your eyes from the bottom of the photo up, it acts a perfect guide to notice every little detail of the car.
‘Silver Secrets III’
Giving a closer look to the engine from the front, this time in the collection, the photo puts you at eye level with the driver in the car, able to see beyond the windscreen at the top of the wheel and the single headrest, an iconic feature of the car.
With the number 7 standing out in a not complete circle due to the missing bonnet, it leaves the somewhat perfect car being slightly uncomfortable to the eye.
On top of this, the view allows you to see the wires and different elements of the engine the other angles were much more limited in doing.
‘Silver Secrets IV’
Finishing the on the engine, ‘silver Secrets IV’ is a true look at the engine and a reminder of who made it in all it’s glory. Ferrari.
The red in contrast with the silver hugely stands out even in it’s worn out state with bits of the red missing on the F. It’s a reminder of the use of the car and it’s history while stating how even so far on from it’s creation, how impressive it is.
‘Wheel of Gods II’
A follow up to another picture earlier on, ‘Wheel of Gods II’ takes the 750’s wheel and puts it in focus with the prancing horse in a sea of Maranello yellow in the middle of the wheel.
Capturing the light in the wheel and reflecting it, along with on the dash, the photo looks looks at a study of circles from the wheel to the speedometers.
