The largest and most comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the British teams that, between the 1960s and the 1980s, challenged Enzo Ferrari. On display: 23 cars, documents, memorabilia and photographs recounting the British revolution in motorsport during the era of Swinging London. Curated by Carlo Cavicchi and Mario Donnini with Maurizio Cilli.

Through a selection of 23 iconic vehicles – 22 Formula 1 single-seaters and the legendary Mini Morris – the exhibition, spread across more than 2,000 square meters of exhibition space on the ground floor, tells the story of a season of technical experimentation and formal freedom, marked by extreme risks, intense rivalries and strong visual identities that shaped new cultural imaginaries.

A universe of technology, style and pioneering spirit, in which single-seaters become symbols of an industrial and cultural revolution that redefined the imagination of motor racing. Enzo Ferrari used to call them, somewhat dismissively, “garagistes”: the British teams that – between the 1960s and the 1980s – challenged Ferrari’s dominance, until then the undisputed protagonist of Formula 1.

With lightweight structures, revolutionary chassis and extraordinary speed in experimentation, these independent teams transformed small technical workshops into formidable rivals, capable of defeating Maranello on the track and permanently changing the balance of the championship.

This British revolution extended beyond motorsport to music, fashion, photography and cinema, defining a period of remarkable vitality and optimism, characterized by an explosion of creativity. The exhibition conveys this energy through an immersive narrative capable of capturing the spirit of an era that forever changed not only the language of speed, but also the collective imagination.
