1960 FACCIOLI Tipo BF1 Formula Junior

Chassis No.1 | The Mid-Engined Italian Pioneer

This unique racer isn't just a piece of Italian history - it’s a golden ticket to the most prestigious grid of the 2026 season.

Offered for sale is the legendary 1960 Faccioli Tipo BF1, a car that stands as a masterclass in Italian engineering and a pivotal "missing link" in racing evolution. Commissioned by Massimo Bondi and hand-built by Aldo Faccioli in Bologna, this is one of the first mid-engined Formula Junior to ever emerge from Italy, predating the shift that would eventually see the rear-engine layout dominate the world stage.

The Ultimate 2026 Goodwood Revival Prospect

The Goodwood Revival has officially confirmed the return of the Chichester Cup for 2026—the world-renowned race dedicated to rear-engined, drum-braked Formula Juniors.

• Highly Eligible: As a period-authentic, mid-engined 1960 monoposto, the Faccioli is a "shoe-in" for an invitation to this exclusive grid.
• Proven Pedigree: This car has already graced the Goodwood Motor Circuit at the inaugural Revival Meeting in 1998 and was famously exhibited in the Monza Museum for nearly a decade.
• Sustainable Ready: To meet the Duke of Richmond’s new mandate, this car is the perfect candidate for a sustainable fuel setup, ensuring you remain at the forefront of the "Revive & Thrive" movement.

Technical Highlights

• Engine: Period-correct, tuned 4-cylinder FIAT 1100/103, delivering that classic high-revving Italian soundtrack.
• Transmission: Modified FIAT 600 4-speed gearbox.
• Design: Exquisite hand-formed aluminium bodywork
• Provenance: Formerly part of the Monza Museum collection; documented race history including class wins at the 1961 Predappio hill climb with Anzio Zucchi.

Why This Car?

While the grid is often crowded with Coopers and Lotuses, the Faccioli offers the rare opportunity to compete in a unique Italian special. It is more than a race car; it is a conversation piece that guarantees a prime paddock position and the attention of the world's most discerning collectors.

"A miniaturized Maserati with the soul of a Bologna special—ready to chase the sunset at the 2026 Revival."
