Full Lot Description
A F2 Grand Prix silver trophy, the bellied body with alternating acanthus leaf band and ornately scrolled double-handles, rising to flared upper body with armorial decoration, engraved to spread base 'GRAN PREMIO CIUDAD DE BOGOTA' 'ALCALDIA MAYOR DE BOGOTA FEB.14 DE 1971'. Stamped '0.900' to base. Height 32.5cm, diameter of rim 28cm. Weight 70.5ozt (2504.7g).
This trophy was likely awarded to Alan Rollinson, for his first-place win within the second race of Formula 2's 1971 mini-championships in Columbia. 1971 was the first and only F2 event held in Columbia, and was chosen to garner positive, international attention after the deaths of several sportsmen the previous year. The high altitude of the Ricardo Mejía circuit, built for the event, leading to machine issues, was one of several factors that condemned Columbia as a future F2 host.
Rollinson raced against renowned motor sportsmen, two time Formula 1 champion Graham Hill and Le Mans 24 hours five times winner Derek Hill, who came third place. His triumph in the Bogota race is in contrast to his fifteenth-place ranking in the edition's first race.
