Vintage 1959 photo of Jean Behra on Ferrari 246 - Grand Prix of France - Reims.

This vintage & original 1959 photo shows Jean Behra smoking the rear tires of his Ferrari 246 on July 5 1959 during the French Grand Prix at Reims.

Jean ran in 6th postition when a piston expired in lap 31 which put him out of the race.

This picture is one of the last there is of Jean as a Grand Prix driver as this was formally his last Grand Prix and he died less than a month later (on August 1, 1959) when he crashed his privately owned Porsche at the AVUS ring in Berlin.

The photo measures some 17.5 x 12.5 cm or 7 x 5 inches and is in good condition.

The back carries the stamp of the photographer.

Only 1 (one) available and a VERY rare opportunity.
