This period sponsorship banner was displayed trackside at the Mille Miglia and period photographs show it to be of the type that were displayed in 1954 and 1955. The 1954 edition was won by Alberto Ascari in a Lancia D24 and 1955 was the famous edition won by Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson in their Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR.

A high-quality cloth banner, it remains in fantastic condition despite one small repair. The one thing which needs to be admired is the size of this piece which stretches over 7 meters and provides the perfect and colourful back drop to any garage. The banner is double sided and comes with the mounting pole which allows the new owner to hang it in the same manner seen in the photos.

This lot is located in the United Kingdom.
