A major collection of Formula One motorsport memorabilia including a 1989 Ferrari 328 GTS with an estimated value of $200,000 will be auctioned at Hurstville this month. It is described by one expert as the largest single collection of Formula One Ferrari original memorabilia to come onto the local market in more than 30 years. The collection of the late Enzo Quarta includes models, shirts, helmets, pins, books, race suits, jackets, t-shirts, flags and more. Enzo was a regular customer at the Motorsport Shop, South Hurstville for over 25 years amassing a large collection of motorsport memorabilia. He passed away last October after a long illness at the age of 70. His wife Olga is moving into smaller accommodation and needs sell Enzo's collection. The auction is being handled by Motorsport Shop chief executive Patrick Wedes who described it as a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Formula One motorsport fans. "I've never seen such a collection so vast in my 32 years of doing motorsport memorabilia," Patrick said. "Enzo was a major Ferrari fan, so you can imagine what he collected," Patrick said. "He was a Ferrari lover by heart and soul. "There are 180 lots no reserve. Of these, there are 20 lots with a very low price estimate. "There will be plenty of bargains." The Enzo Quarta Memorial Auction will be held at The Pinnacle South Hurstville, Sunday, April 14 from 11am. Viewing will be at The Pinnacle on Saturday, April 13 from 11am to 4pm.
