Dear colleagues,
I have been losing sleep recently over this picture :
The information that I have is not helping. On the one hand, its is "understood" to be from sometime in September 1958. On the other, the quality of it, not great, leaves the "where" in the limbo. You can´t really read the notice on the wall (which would help). It looks like Módena, but go figure.
I can´t remember ever seeing or reading about two 250Fs (not one, two!) decorated in Argentine colours, What for exactly and when? We know they never appeared in those colours in a race, but obviously here they are.
The timing of this picture leads to its own problems : if we explore September 58 -so either before Monza or between Monza and Ain Diab- we can´t find at which point the cars that are supposed to be shown (and that's another tricky one) would have been painted in those colours. Nope.
So, if not 58, when then? 1959? I don´t see the obvious conection, if there's any. 1960? Before or after the Buenos Aires and Cordoba races in February? No car with ACA decoration appeared there either (or later in the Trofeo Triangular Sudamericano).
I can´t recognize the gentleman sitting on the car on the left.
But here comes the catch, which should be handled with care. This picture, "cropped" -so that you can only see the car with the driver sitting on it- I had seen it before. Not identifying its driver but the car itself. As 2533.
The picture I saw was (understood) to be coming from the files of Barrie Hopkirk. Enough said...
So I have been following the whereabouts of 2533 (yeah, we' re sick) from birth to mid 1960. Now, is that 2533? Looks certainly like it, but again, when exactly? No mirrors, worn out tyres, what else?
I naively thought that if we could start by identifying the two cars...location or opportunity for the picture will arise. As it happens, it now looks that such idea is counterintuitive, I am back where I started.
Ideas? Hypothesis? 
Merry Xmas, in the meantime.
