The latest version of the Maranello company's two-seater mid-rear-engined sports berlinetta concept that redefines the idea of fun behind the wheel to provide pure enjoyment in pursuit of high performance or everyday driving. The 296 GT3 reflects the values of its road-going \"twin\", the 296 GTB, yet achieves a lower center of gravity with a unique 120-degree V6 configuration, housing the turbochargers within the mid-rear mounted V.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough essentially a racing car, the 296 GT3 is a Ferrari through and through. This includes the option for customers to personalize it to their taste and requirements, from the aesthetic to the technical side of the car. The Ferrari 296 GT3 aims to surpass the impressive numbers achieved by the 488 GT3, relying on the expertise of the Ferrari Competizioni GT team and the innovative solutions that the car provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine scale model of the 296 GT3 has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

After failing to secure possession of Enzo Ferrari’s much celebrated company, Henry Ford II returned to America empty-handed and declared his desire to crush Ferrari at Le Mans. The result was a car that was to defeat all before it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced for five years between 1964-69, the development of the GT40 was particularly improvised. Despite their tremendous wealth and production capability, Ford as an organisation had precious little racing expertise. Ford negotiated a deal with UK-based Lola Cars owner and chief designer Eric Broadley and dispatched British engineer Roy Lunn back to the UK to take a key role in the project. Overseen by American designer Harley Copp, the team of Broadley, Lunn and ex-Aston Martin team boss John Wyer began working on the new car at the Lola Factory in Bromley. At the end of 1963, the team moved to Slough, at the newly established Ford Advanced Vehicles HQ, under the direction of Wyer. Bruce McLaren, of McLaren Automotive, was hired to evaluate a prototype in August 1963 and then work progressed swiftly, though it was barely finished in time for its unveiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLe Mans testing a few weeks later revealed severe instability issues at high speed; the GT40 could do 200mph (321km\/h) but wanted to get airborne above 170mph (273km\/h). It’s first outings at the Nürburgring, Le Mans and Reims, despite its incredible reputation, were all DNFs. By the end of the year, Wyer, though still building GT40s, handed the job of racing them to the legendary American ex-racer Carroll Shelby. Shelby replaced the 4.2L engine with a 7.0L beast that he already used to great effect in the Cobra, matched to a new ZF transmission. Armed with its new power unit, the GT40 scored its first win at Daytona 1965 before claiming second place at Sebring. Le Mans, though, was a disaster, with all five entries failing to finish due to mechanical issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1966 marked the beginning of the GT40 legend. A 1-2-3 victory at Daytona was quickly followed by another victory at Sebring. However, it was the Le Mans crown that Ford coveted. Ford assembled an army for the race that year: nine cars, over 100 personnel with 21 tonnes of spare parts. Ford defeated Ferrari in style, dominating the podium with the top three finishers and becoming the first American manufacturer to emerge victorious at Le Mans. Le Mans wins followed for the GT40 for three more years, establishing the GT40 as one of the most iconic race cars of all time. Ferrari have not won at Le Mans since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis perfect 1:8 scale model of the Ford GT40 is based on the chassis #1075, which was victorious at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1969. Driven by Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver, the #6 car recorded the real closest-run finish in the history of the Le Mans 24 Hours, and one of the greatest in all of the history of motor racing, beating Hans Hermann’s Porsche 908 by just 120 metres (390 feet) after 372 laps. It was a classic underdog story: Porsche had already wrapped up the World Sportscar Championship with three of the ten races to go and were strong favourites to win Le Mans for the first time. 16 Porsches competed, more than a third of the field, and Porsche did indeed lead for 90% of the race. However, the leading 917's gearbox broke at 11 a.m and the Ford of Ickx and Oliver took over the lead. The race ended in a 3-hour sprint, with the Ford battling exhaust problems whilst being pursued by the Porsche 908 of Herrmann and Gérard Larrousse, who themselves contended with mechanical issues affecting the brakes and engine. Ickx knew if he led onto the Mulsanne straight, Herrmann would pass, but he could slipstream past him back again and then hold a lead for the rest of a lap. The cars crossed the finish line with less than a minute to go and so needed to complete one more lap. The Ford had only ever done 23 laps on a tank of fuel, but now suddenly needed to gain an extra lap. Ickx faked a lack of power from fuel starvation, letting Herrmann pass him early on the Mulsanne Straight, before using the slipstream to pass him again just before the end of the 5km straight. Ickx held off Herrmann to cross the line first, denying Porsche for another year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven more impressively, the car that crossed the line victorious was not a new car made for that year. In fact, it was the exact chassis that won Le Mans the previous year in the hands of Pedro Rodriguez and Lucien Bianchi. Ickx dedicated the team's victory to previous winner Bianchi, who had been killed earlier in the year. Ickx also emerged the victor after starting the race with a one-man protest against the ‘Le Mans start’, after the death of Porsche privateer Willy Mairisse the previous year, by walking to his car and taking his time doing up his belts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElevate your 1:8 scale collection with one of our elegant, harmonious and handcrafted display cabinets, stands or plinths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe offer a tailor-made service, customising your 1:8 scale model to perfectly match the specification of a real car, enhancing the already stunning features of the limited edition model.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63258986316163,"sku":"M5768-L69","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/8391\/0275\/files\/DSCF9860.jpg?v=1794225210"},{"product_id":"aston-martin-db5","title":"Aston Martin DB5 Vantage","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBespoke Models can be built to the owner's specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach model hand-built and assembled by a small team of craftsmen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:8 scale model, over 57 cms\/22 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade using the finest quality materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThousands of precisely engineered parts: castings, photo-etchings and CNC machined metal components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt using original CAD designs developed from a scan of an original car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchive imagery, paint codes and material specifications supplied by Aston Martin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eOften billed as the “most famous car in the world”, the Aston Martin DB5 Vantage is widely considered to be amongst the most beautiful cars ever made and is often labelled as the most attractive built by the British marque. Certainly it is one of the most beloved, thanks largely to its now eternal association with a certain agent of international espionage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt between 1963 and 1965, the DB5 was nearly visually identical to the previous DB4. However, DB5’s most substantial change occurred under the bonnet: the introduction of a 3995cc naturally-aspirated straight-six, producing 282bhp and 280lb ft, with that power sent through to a synchromesh five-speed ZF gearbox and a robust Borg \u0026amp; Beck clutch to the rear wheels. It was the first time this engine was used by Aston Martin in a road car, having first seen service in the Lagonda Rapide (based on Aston’s DB4) and the Aston Martin DP215, the 1963 Le Mans endurance racer. Chassis changes included the adoption of the Girling disc brakes that had only been used on DB4 GT, along with 15” wheels. Many other improvements were incorporated including electric windows and twin hydraulic brake servos. Inside, the new car was more luxurious than any Aston before. A Normalair air-conditioning system was available as an option. However, the DB5’s many upgrades meant it weighed over 100kg more than the car it replaced, though the bigger engine kept things on track, reducing the 0-60mph time to around 8sec.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DB5 was propelled to worldwide fame when used as James Bond's car in the movie 'Goldfinger,' as well as a number of subsequent James Bond films, eventually spawning a special Aston Martin Works creation known as the Goldfinger Continuation that was built in 2020. The association with James Bond was a marketer’s dream, the perfect example of product placement, which nearly didn’t happen at all: Jaguar’s E-type was the preferred choice, but Jaguar turned EON down, and Aston Martin’s owner David Brown was also initially reluctant to supply a DB5. The rest is history, and James Bond’s gadget laden Silver Birch DB5 became an immortal silver screen phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Aston Martin DB5 Vantage features an exterior specification in the iconic Silver Birch, with an all-black interior. Following in the footsteps of the successful DB4 GT, the DB5 Vantage-specification engine featured an upgraded high-compression cylinder head, altered cam timing, and triple twin-choke Weber carburettors. Power also rose to 325 bhp, forty more than the standard engine, achieving 0-60mph (0-96.5kph) in 6.5 seconds. Aston Martin produced only 65 DB5 Vantages, of which approximately 40 were right-hand drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Aston Martin regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

The Purosangue is truly unlike any other modern archetypes\/crossover types.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaranello’s most iconic power unit debuts in a brand-new configuration, and the 6.5 litre, naturally aspirated V12 engine’s performance numbers do not disappoint, reaching 0-62 mph in just 3.3 seconds. Derived from the fearsome 812 Competizione, the Purosangue exhibits never-ending power for the driver with a power output of 725 CV and a maximum speed of 310 km\/h. The soundtrack is typical Ferrari, with those unmistakable V12 harmonics present as the driver accelerates hard: when the engine approaches the 8250-rpm redline, there’s an enthralling crescendo that reaches its pinnacle at the kind of high revs only Ferrari’s engines can deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new chassis has a carbon-fibre roof and elegant rear-hinged back doors, or ‘welcome doors’ as described by Ferrari, to make the car more accessible whilst keeping it as compact as possible. The exterior sets the Purosangue apart from any other four-door, four-seater cars on the market. Ferrari made a bold design statement with the removal of the front grille on the Purosangue, whilst a seamless integration of exterior features such as parking sensors and cameras combine to provide an unmistakable look. The combined large rear wings present the look of an impressively wide tail and the bodywork, underbody, and rear diffuser have been made as efficient as possible through Ferrari’s aero development focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ’welcomes doors’ open to reveal a luxurious yet modern interior, with an elegant, sporty and spacious cabin featuring four separate heated electric, adjustable seats delivering uncompromised comfort and space to accommodate four adults. The Purosangue also boasts the largest boot ever seen on a Ferrari, that can be further extended when the rear seats are folded. As with the rest of the Ferrari range, the Purosangue features an entirely digital interface and 10.25” display as well as dual cockpit for the front passenger, providing emotional engagement throughout the ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari Purosangue will be handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original CAD data, finishes, and paint codes.

Its famed charisma came not only from its innumerable racing victories, but from the unique sum of its parts. A 2,953cc Columbo V12 engine coupled to a new 5-speed gearbox with a Sergio Scaglietti-designed body on top of a 250 GT chassis; the 250 GTO represented the pinnacle of 250 GT development in competition form, whilst remaining a legitimate road car. In recent years, original examples have repeatedly set price records. Chassis 3413 GT sold at auction in 2018 for $48.4 million and, later that same year, chassis 4153 GT was sold in a private sale for a reported $70 million.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 250 GTO was built on a 2400mm wheelbase and, although the chassis was built along the same lines as the 250 GT SWB on which it was derived, it used smaller section tubing, with additional bracing for increased torsional rigidity. Four wheel disc brakes were fitted, with a cable-operated handbrake to the rear wheels. The 3-litre V12 power unit was essentially a 250 TR specification engine, producing a claimed power output of 300 bhp, which was paired with a new 5-speed, all synchromesh gearbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarly development of the new car was shrouded in secrecy, with Giotto Bizzarrini charged with developing a car to take on and beat the Jaguar E Type. On its first outing at Monza in September 1961, prior to the Italian Grand Prix, the 250 GTO earned the nickname ‘Il Mostro’ (The Monster), due to its rough-hewn and ill-fitting prototype body. During test sessions, Stirling Moss drove the car to record times far better than those ever achieved by a similar chassis. A ‘palace revolution’ followed later in the year, and Bizzarrini found himself on the outside, with refinement of the GTO body now entrusted to Sergio Scaglietti, who created its definitive shape. The overall shape of the aluminium bodies designed and built by Scaglietti changed very little across the 36-car production run in 1962 and 1963, though the last three cars in the series, built in 1964, received Pininfarina-designed and Scaglietti-built bodies of a style very similar to that used on the mid-engine 250 LM sports racing car. Although the overall body shape didn’t alter to any great degree, the detail differences during the production run certainly did, as refinements were made across the car’s construction span.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnveiled at the annual pre-season Ferrari press conference in January 1962, the 250 GTO was the sole front-engine model amongst a line-up of mid-engine racers. New owners needed to afford the $18,000 price tag, as well as be personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. On its maiden outing in the 12 Hours of Sebring Race, the 250 GTO, driven by Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien, finished second overall to a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa. It also won the GT category easily by a six-lap margin, an impressive debut performance which hinted at the dominant period to come. Ferrari would go on to secure the International Championship for GT Manufacturers comfortably in 1962 and 1963. The 250 GTO would complete the hat-trick in 1964 by smaller margin of six points, having only been caught by Shelby’s competitive AC Cobras (with much larger V8 capacity engines) during its last competitive year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmongst the numerous international successes of the 250 GTO were wins in the Tour de France in 1963 and 1964, extending Ferrari’s win streak to nine straight years; GT class wins in the Targa Florio in 1962, 1963 and 1964; victories in the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood in 1962 and 1963; with GT category wins at Le Mans in 1962 and 1963, and in the Nürburgring 1000 km in 1963 and 1964.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model is of the Ferrari 250 GTO which was first unveiled to the world at a Press Conference in Maranello February 1962.

Its famed charisma came not only from its innumerable racing victories but from the unique sum of its parts. A 2,953cc Columbo V12 engine coupled to a new 5-speed gearbox with a Sergio Scaglietti-designed body on top of a 250 GT chassis; the 250 GTO represented the pinnacle of 250 GT development in competition form, whilst remaining a legitimate road car. In recent years, original examples have repeatedly set price records. Chassis 3413 GT sold at auction in 2018 for $48.4 million and, later that same year, chassis 4153 GT was sold in a private sale for a reported $70 million.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 250 GTO was built on a 2400mm wheelbase and, although the chassis was built along the same lines as the 250 GT SWB on which it was derived, it used smaller section tubing, with additional bracing for increased torsional rigidity. Four wheel disc brakes were fitted, with a cable-operated handbrake to the rear wheels. The 3-litre V12 power unit was essentially a 250 TR specification engine, producing a claimed power output of 300 bhp, which was paired with a new 5-speed, all synchromesh gearbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarly development of the new car was shrouded in secrecy, with Giotto Bizzarrini charged with developing a car to take on and beat the Jaguar E Type. On its first outing at Monza in September 1961, prior to the Italian Grand Prix, the 250 GTO earned the nickname ‘Il Mostro’ (The Monster), due to its rough-hewn and ill-fitting prototype body. During test sessions, Stirling Moss drove the car to record times far better than those ever achieved by a similar chassis. A ‘palace revolution’ followed later in the year, and Bizzarrini found himself on the outside, with the refinement of the GTO body now entrusted to Sergio Scaglietti, who created its definitive shape. The overall shape of the aluminium bodies designed and built by Scaglietti changed very little across the 36-car production run in 1962 and 1963, though the last three cars in the series, built in 1964, received Pininfarina-designed and Scaglietti-built bodies of a style very similar to that used on the mid-engine 250 LM sports racing car. Although the overall body shape didn’t alter to any great degree, the detail differences during the production run certainly did, as refinements were made across the car’s construction span.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnveiled at the annual pre-season Ferrari press conference in January 1962, the 250 GTO was the sole front-engine model amongst a line-up of mid-engine racers. New owners needed to afford the $18,000 price tag, as well as be personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. On its maiden outing in the 12 Hours of Sebring Race, the 250 GTO, driven by Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien, finished second overall to a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa. It also won the GT category easily by a six-lap margin, an impressive debut performance that hinted at the dominant period to come. Ferrari would go on to secure the International Championship for GT Manufacturers comfortably in 1962 and 1963. The 250 GTO would complete the hat-trick in 1964 by smaller margin of six points, having only been caught by Shelby’s competitive AC Cobras (with much larger V8 capacity engines) during its last competitive year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmongst the numerous international successes of the 250 GTO were victories in the Tour de France in 1963 and 1964, extending Ferrari’s win streak to nine straight years; GT class wins in the Targa Florio in 1962, 1963 and 1964; victories in the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood in 1962 and 1963; with GT category wins at Le Mans in 1962 and 1963, and in the Nürburgring 1000 km in 1963 and 1964.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3943GT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced in late 1962, Ferrari 250GTO 3943GT was purchased by French steel industrialist and renowned racer Pierre Noblet. Finished in red with a French tricolore stripe, 3943GT contested with some success, at times partnered by close friend and future Le Mans winner Jean Guichet. 3943GT’s race debut occurred at the Paris 1000km towards the end of the year, where Noblet and Guichet took fourth position. The duo wouldn’t race 3943GT for another six months but would score a strong victory at the Dakar 6 Hours, finishing eight laps ahead of their closest rivals. A close battle at the 1963 Spa-Francorchamps 500km, in which the top four all finished within a lap of each other, saw Noblet take second spot racing solo. One week later, in the car’s first appearance at the Nürburgring 1000km, Noblet and Guichet drove the 250GTO to second overall, finishing on the same lap as the winning Ferrari 250 P and defeating their own class rivals by three laps. Noblet would continue to race 3943GT in 1964 with less success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3943GT was sold on to fellow Frenchman and semi-professional rally driver Robert Neyret, who continued to race the Ferrari to more success. Neyret emerged best in class in the 1966 Paris 1000km, co-driven by compatriot Jacques Terramorsi, the 1967 Mont Ventoux Hill Climb and the 1967 Rallye Pétrole-Provence, with Jean-Claude Syda alongside him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe car remained in French ownership after Neyret, until was acquired by American Tom Price in 1983. During the following years, Price regularly raced and exhibited the 250GTO until he sold it to the current owner Charles E. Nearburg for $26million in 2010. Nearburg had 3943GT completely restored and it has since been shown at events on both sides of the Atlantic, winning multiple awards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis perfect 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari 250GTO 3943GT Chassis is modelled on the #46 car as raced at the 1963 Nürburgring 1000km with Noblet and Guichet at the wheel.

Exquisitely proportioned, it fused a low-hung nose with hewn Kamm tail and its comforts included a fully trimmed interior and a softer suspension than its track-dwelling siblings. Hung on a short wheelbase chassis, the Lusso was powered by a light and compact three litre V12 engine combing three twin-choke Weber carburettors. With a top speed of 150mph (240km\/h) and a handy 0-100mph (0-160km\/h) acceleration time of 19.5 seconds, the Lusso was the thrilling finale of the 250 series; an unrepeatable family of road-going machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari 250GT Lusso has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

With its stunning bodywork designed by Pininfarina and masterfully executed by Scaglietti, the car was a collaboration of the very best. It was borne out of an idea cooked up in the late fifties by US Ferrari dealers Luigi Chinetti and John von Neumann to cater to the burgeoning market in North America. Realising that a convertible would satisfy the currently mutually exclusive combination of the Tour de France performance and a yearning for the excitement and glamour of an open top Ferrari, Chinetti and von Neumann took their concept to Maranello, and the Spyder variant of the 250GT Berlinetta Tour de France was born.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Italian stable threw top-drawer styling at the concept, enlisting Pininfarina and Scaglietti with the brief to create an open top design with space for two people and their luggage within the racing bred performance of the Tour de France. The first Spyders were built on the original 2600mm wheelbase, known as the long wheelbase (LWB), before Ferrari introduced a shorter wheelbase version (SWB) of the 250 GT Berlinetta at 2400mm in 1959. Scaglietti revealed the 250 GT California Spyder SWB at the 1960 Geneva Motor Show, its body pulled more tautly over this updated chassis. Like the Berlinetta on which it was based, the revised Spyder also received disc brakes and a 276 hp (280 PS) version of the 2,953cc Colombo Tipo 125 V12 engine. Just 56 examples of the GT short wheelbase Spyders were built and were to be mainly spotted in period on the French Riviera and in Hollywood, in the hands of famed actors such as Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, and James Coburn. The race car on which the whole concept was based represented the most remarkable competition success for the prancing horse, with N.A.R.T. (the North American Racing Team) achieving fifth place overall at the 1959 edition of Le Mans. Driven by Bob Grossman and Fernand Tavano, the car averaged a speed of over 165 miles per hour across the full 24 hours, including pit stops, and was beaten only by two Aston Martin sports racing cars and two Ferrari competition coupes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn March 11 2016, at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation, a 1961 SWB sold for over US$17 million at auction. True dual-purpose automobiles, they were at home on the streets of Beverly Hills and the open roads and racing circuits of Europe and North America, epitomising both style and prestige. The SWB Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder remains perhaps the most sought-after convertible of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder SWB has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

Scuderia Ferrari had a bumper entry of 11 cars in the race, made up of both works entries and privateer teams. The race was dominated by fifteen hours of rain, three of which were torrential, which saw thirteen separate accidents, one sadly killing gentleman-driver Jean-Marie Brussin. Gendebien and Hill held the lead for 22 hours and, when Hill finally crossed the line, it marked the first ever overall Le Mans win for an American and a Belgian driver, and crowned Scuderia Ferrari as victors at the Le Mans for the third time.

To set the scene, the fabled 24 Hours of Le Mans race of that year attracted a huge crowd of some 150,000 spectators, gathered in anticipation of an exciting and closely matched dual between Ferrari, Jaguar, Aston Martin and Porsche. Scuderia Ferrari had a bumper entry of 11 cars in the race, made up of both works entries and privateer teams. The race was dominated by fifteen hours of rain, three of which were torrential, which saw thirteen separate accidents, one sadly killing gentleman-driver Jean-Marie Brussin. Gendebien and Hill held the lead for 22 hours and, when Hill finally crossed the line, it marked the first ever overall Le Mans win for an American and a Belgian driver, and crowned Scuderia Ferrari as victors at the Le Mans for the third time. The duo finished a dominating twelve laps ahead of their closest opponents in second place and would go on to be the first pairing to record three victories at Le Mans just four years later. Despite the atrocious weather for most of the race, the winners’ race distance of 4,101.926km would still have given them fifth place in the previous year's race.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElevate your 1:8 scale collection with one of our elegant, harmonious and handcrafted display cabinets, stands or plinths.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63258989494659,"sku":"M5248-TR","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/8391\/0275\/files\/DSCF4684Centered.jpg?v=1794225225"},{"product_id":"ferrari-250tr-le-mans-1958-lucy-belle","title":"Ferrari 250 TR - 1958 Le Mans - \"Lucybelle II\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs raced by Ed Hugus and team mate Ray ‘Ernie’ Erickson to seventh place in the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the 21st and 22nd June 1958\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:8 scale model, over 49 cms\/19 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach model hand-built and assembled by a small team of craftsmen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade using the finest quality materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete with opening trunk and removeable engine cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThousands of precisely engineered parts: castings, photo-etchings and CNC machined metal components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt using extraordinarily precise digital data, after from scanning an original car - chassis 0734\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaint codes, material specifications and archive imagery provided by Ferrari\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed 24 Hours of Le Mans product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 250 Testa Rossa is now one of the world’s most sought after Ferraris.

Though the FIA scuppered Ferrari’s plans to dominate the GT class by refusing to homologate the 250 LM, forcing it to compete directly against other prototypes, it still raced to considerable success with an extensive list of victories around the globe. The car’s finest moment came at Le Mans, taking a somewhat surprise triumph at the track it was named after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented at the Paris Motor Show in October 1963, the 250 LM was the berlinetta version of the 250 P prototype racer, sharing the same tubular space-frame chassis and running gear with just minor modifications. Its mid-engine layout enabled Sergio Scaglietti to wrap the flowing, voluptuous aluminium body around the chassis, with bulging rear arches flowing down to a kammback tail. The car stood at just 44 inches tall and featured a 3.3-liter, 320-hp V12 engine, enabling it to reach a top speed of 178mph (287km\/h)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFerrari’s engineers intended to produce the car as a road-going GT to replace the hugely successful 250 GTO. However, as only 32 chassis had been built between 1963-1965, the FIA refused to homologate the car, forcing the car to compete with true prototypes such as the Ford GT40 and decreasing its chances of victory. Nevertheless, the 250 LM was raced with considerable success around the world by both works and privateer teams. In 1964, it emerged triumphant in ten of the 35 races entered. In the 1965 World Sportscar Championship, the car contributed vital points towards Ferrari’s ultimate International Trophy for GT Prototypes triumph, being victorious at the Spa 500km with a 1-2 finish, the Mugello GP (earning all three podium spots) and the Coppa Città di Enna, as well as gaining further podiums in the Sebring 12 Hours, RAC Tourist Trophy, 12 Hours of Reims and the Bolzano-Mendola Hill Climb. The highlight of the 250 LM’s racing career was undoubtedly the 1965 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLuigi Chinetti’s North American Racing Team 250 LM entry, piloted officially by Jochen Rindt and Masten Gregory, enjoyed a legendary win, beating the arguably favoured Ford GT40s, and leading home a Ferrari 1-2-3. Pierre Dumay and Gustave Gosselin’s 250 LM finished second ahead of Willy Mairesse and Jean Blaton in a Ferrari 275 GTB. It is fabled that a third, unrecorded driver, Ed Hugus, delivered a stunning stint in this car in the small hours of the morning in lieu of Rindt, who had gone missing in action from the le Sarthe track.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 250 LM is now a highly sought after collectors’ car, with most examples regularly auctioning for over ten million dollars. In 2015, chassis 6105 sold at auction for $17.6 million dollars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari 250 LM is as raced to victory by Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on 19 and 20 June 1965. The race was set to be the first real battle between Ford and Ferrari. The Americans arrived with no fewer than six GT40s, two of which were equipped with colossal seven litre engines. Ferrari’s three works and seven privateer entries may have outnumbered Ford, but they were all vastly underpowered. The #21 North American Racing Team entry, piloted by Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt, qualified down in eleventh position, a full 12 seconds off the pace, and never looked like being involved in a fight for a podium, let alone a victory. This looked even less likely after the NART entry spent half an hour in the pits very early in the race having a misfire traced to nothing more serious than a dodgy condenser.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFord started the race strongly but, by a quarter distance, it had already become a total disaster for the Americans and not one of their entries remained. It was Ferrari’s to lose. However, Ferrari’s own entries started to fade, with the two Maranello Concessionaries and Ecurie Francorchamps privateer cars retiring overnight. Then, the works team started to suffer. The drivers were struggling to slow the cars down and were told to use engine braking instead, putting an intolerable strain on their powertrains, two succumbing to gearbox failure, the third to engine trouble. A faulty batch of disc brakes was later discovered to be the culprit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the morning dawned the #21 car of Gregory and Rindt found themselves in second place, two laps behind the leader, another 250 LM with a far slower crew of Pierre Dumay and Gustave ‘Taf’ Gosselin at its wheel. The #21 car was gaining five seconds a lap on the frontrunner, leaving the spectators expecting a potential photo finish, right up until a tyre on the Belgian car exploded at high speed on the Mulsanne Straight. Despite severe damage, Gosselin managed to bring the car back to the pits, but vital time was lost repairing the damage and the car returned to the track behind the NART entry. Rindt and Gregory cruised to victory, despite the fragile differential, finishing five laps clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHandling Race Weathered Models\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note that Amalgam’s weathered models are incredibly fragile and require careful handling.

Its famed charisma came not only from its innumerable racing victories, but from the unique sum of its parts. A 2,953cc Columbo V12 engine coupled to a new 5-speed gearbox with a Sergio Scaglietti-designed body on top of a 250 GT chassis; the 250 GTO represented the pinnacle of 250 GT development in competition form, whilst remaining a legitimate road car. In recent years, original examples have repeatedly set price records. Chassis 3413 GT sold at auction in 2018 for $48.4 million and, later that same year, chassis 4153 GT was sold in a private sale for a reported $70 million.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 250 GTO was built on a 2400mm wheelbase and, although the chassis was built along the same lines as the 250 GT SWB on which it was derived, it used smaller section tubing, with additional bracing for increased torsional rigidity. Four wheel disc brakes were fitted, with a cable-operated handbrake to the rear wheels. The 3-litre V12 power unit was essentially a 250 TR specification engine, producing a claimed power output of 300 bhp, which was paired with a new 5-speed, all synchromesh gearbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarly development of the new car was shrouded in secrecy, with Giotto Bizzarrini charged with developing a car to take on and beat the Jaguar E Type. On its first outing at Monza in September 1961, prior to the Italian Grand Prix, the 250 GTO earned the nickname ‘Il Mostro’ (The Monster), due to its rough-hewn and ill-fitting prototype body. During test sessions, Stirling Moss drove the car to record times far better than those ever achieved by a similar chassis. A ‘palace revolution’ followed later in the year, and Bizzarrini found himself on the outside, with refinement of the GTO body now entrusted to Sergio Scaglietti, who created its definitive shape. The overall shape of the aluminium bodies designed and built by Scaglietti changed very little across the 36-car production run in 1962 and 1963, though the last three cars in the series, built in 1964, received Pininfarina-designed and Scaglietti-built bodies of a style very similar to that used on the mid-engine 250 LM sports racing car. Although the overall body shape didn’t alter to any great degree, the detail differences during the production run certainly did, as refinements were made across the car’s construction span.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnveiled at the annual pre-season Ferrari press conference in January 1962, the 250 GTO was the sole front-engine model amongst a line-up of mid-engine racers. New owners needed to afford the $18,000 price tag, as well as be personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. On its maiden outing in the 12 Hours of Sebring Race, the 250 GTO, driven by Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien, finished second overall to a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa. It also won the GT category easily by a six-lap margin, an impressive debut performance which hinted at the dominant period to come. Ferrari would go on to secure the International Championship for GT Manufacturers comfortably in 1962 and 1963. The 250 GTO would complete the hat-trick in 1964 by smaller margin of six points, having only been caught by Shelby’s competitive AC Cobras (with much larger V8 capacity engines) during its last competitive year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmongst the numerous international successes of the 250 GTO were wins in the Tour de France in 1963 and 1964, extending Ferrari’s win streak to nine straight years; GT class wins in the Targa Florio in 1962, 1963 and 1964; victories in the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood in 1962 and 1963; with GT category wins at Le Mans in 1962 and 1963, and in the Nürburgring 1000 km in 1963 and 1964.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElevate your 1:8 scale collection with one of our elegant, harmonious and handcrafted display cabinets, stands or plinths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe offer a tailor-made service, customising your 1:8 scale model to perfectly match the specification of a real car, enhancing the already stunning features of the limited edition model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model is represented in the curated Porter Press Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Bespoke","offer_id":63258990281091,"sku":"M5376-XXGT","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/8391\/0275\/files\/M5376-SN6websitephotos-1-CENTRED-c56de1d6-5eed-4521-9412-d713f0b0e333.jpg?v=1794225230"},{"product_id":"alfa-romeo-8c-2900-mille-miglia","title":"Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 - 1938 Mille Miglia Winner","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 8C 2900 was always destined for greatness, being designed for the fearsome Italian Mille Miglia and the formidable 24 Hours of Le Mans, and being engineered by the legendary Vittorio Jano.

Bodywork for the model was largely provided by period coachwork maestro Carrozzeria Touring, who crafted the 2900’s stunning teardrop-shaped mudguards to the tapered rear.

The epitome of the spirit of racing in the glamorous 1930s era, with victories in Grand Prix racing, at Le Mans four years in succession, and in no less than seven editions of the Mille Miglia, its competition credentials are beyond reproach and, yet, only tell part of the 8C story.

In 1931, Alfa Romeo added two additional cylinders to the 6C 1750, creating the 8C 2300, before preparing a stripped down, short-wheelbase version of the chassis—complete with tapered racing tail and full-length side exhaust—to be driven by Tazio Nuvolari and Giuseppe Campari in their home Grand Prix in Monza. A dominant victory in Alfa Romeo’s back yard would lead to the moniker by which it would forever be known.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVictories followed repeatedly for the Monza, including three consecutive Targa Florio wins (1931-1933), the domination of the 24 Hours of Le Mans for four uninterrupted years (1931-1934) and numerous Grand Prix successes across Europe, parading the fact that the 8C had become practically invincible. The 8C became inescapably linked with the legendary Italian racing driver Tazio Nuvolari who won many competitions behind the wheel, including the 1931 Coppa Ciano, two instances of the Targa Florio (those 1931 and 1932 victories), the 1932 Monaco Grand Prix, the 1933 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 1933 Mille Miglia to add to that prestigious Italian Grand Prix at Monza.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 8C enjoyed an excellent power-to-weight ratio and the 1932 variant no doubt benefited from an enlarged 2665cc version of the engine, fed through not one but two superchargers. In 1933, Alfa Romeo retired the Monza from works racing, but a brigade of successful privateers carried the 8C mantle. The supremacy of the 8C meant that it continued to perform well on track well into the middle of the decade and its undoubted character and style made it an icon of the age. It remains one of the most sought-after cars of all time; in 2016, a Monza sold at sold for just short of $12 million.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model is of the Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 as raced to victory by Tazio Nuvolari at the 1932 Monaco Grand Prix on the 17\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e of April 1932. It was the fourth running of the event, which had already gained international fame, and Alfa Romeo’s first appearance as a works team in Monaco, where they faced the teams from Bugatti and Maserati. Racing for the outfit from Portello, all in red Monzas, were the Italian trio of Nuvolari, Giuseppe Campari and Mario Umberto Borzacchini. There was a fourth car, a white Monza, for the German Rudolf Caracciola, who was not yet part of the official factory team.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe entry list was by invitation only and just 17 cars appeared on the grid, after two of the original 19 failed to start. Even though all the cars had been timed throughout practice, the order of the starting grid was still determined by ballot, Nuvolari being handed eleventh on the grid. The Italian started fantastically, passing seven cars within the first five laps, and settling into second position after ten laps. Despite Nuvolari's speed, he set a new fastest time of two minutes and four seconds on lap 12, he was unable to gain ground on the fast-starting Bugatti of Louis Chiron. The leading trio, including the Bugatti of Achille Varzi only five seconds behind the Alfa, began to pull away from the rest of the field, the followers matching the front-runner’s pace. After thirty laps, Nuvolari started to apply the pressure and gained ground on the leading Bugatti. Chiron rushed to pass one of the backmarkers and grazed the sandbags on the corner at the Quai de Plaisance, propelling the car into the air and turning it over, throwing Chiron into the road. Fortunately, Chiron was uninjured by the fall from his vehicle, except for some cuts and bruises, and recovered quickly, but this had wrecked Bugatti’s best chance for the win and handed the lead over to Alfa Romeo. It was a lead Nuvolari would not relinquish. Caracciola followed behind in the privateer Alfa Romeo, for the last forty laps, slowly closing the distance lap by lap, but declined to win when presented with the opportunity to overtake, as Nuvolari had almost dealt with the challenge of Bugatti singlehandedly and was now suffering from interruptions to his fuel supply. The duo crossed the line just 2.8 seconds apart. From the 17 cars at the start only ten finished after three and a half hours of racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElevate your 1:8 scale collection with one of our elegant, harmonious and handcrafted display cabinets, stands or plinths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWe offer a tailor-made service, customising your 1:8 scale model to perfectly match the specification of a real car, enhancing the already stunning features of the limited edition model.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Limited Edition","offer_id":63258991657347,"sku":"M5544-NUV","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bespoke","offer_id":63258991690115,"sku":"M5544-NUV","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/8391\/0275\/files\/DSCF3431.jpg?v=1794225232"},{"product_id":"bentley-birkin-blower-1929","title":"\"1929 Bentley Blower\" – 1930 Le Mans – Birkin \u0026 Chassagne","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs raced by Sir Henry (Tim) Birkin and Jean Chassagne in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on the 21st and 22nd of June 1930\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:8 scale model, over 54 cms\/21 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach model hand-built and assembled by a small team of craftsmen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade using the finest quality materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThousands of precisely engineered parts: castings, photo-etchings and CNC machined metal components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt using original CAD designs developed from a scan of an original car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal drawings, archive photographs and material specifications supplied by Bentley Motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bentley Blower is, for many, the iconic racing Bentley of the pre-war years. Ironically, the 4 ½ Litre Supercharged was the least successful of all the Cricklewood Bentleys in competition – and founder W.O. Bentley bitterly opposed its development. By 1928, it had become clear that the 4 ½ Litre was reaching the end of its development and that competitors were closing the gap fast on Bentley’s racing supremacy. W.O. Bentley believed the solution was simple: increase the engine capacity. However, Sir Henry (Tim) Birkin, one of the Bentley Boys, preferred the supercharging alternative, one that W.O. saw as ‘perverting the engine’s design and corrupt its performance’. Birkin convinced Bentley Chairman Woolf Barnato to overrule W.O. and approve the project. Only 55 of the 720 Bentley 4½ litres ever produced between 1927 and 1931 were Blowers, but this still complied with the minimum production run for competition racing. Funded by the wealthy heiress, the Hon. Dorothy Paget, Birkin put together a racing team of four remodelled \"prototypes\" (three road cars for Le Mans and Blower No.1, his original) and assembled a fifth car from spare parts. Birkin's blower Bentleys were too late for Le Mans in 1929 and only two of the cars reached the start line in 1930. Neither car reached the finish line, but it is widely considered that the Dudley Benjafield and Birkin privately entered Bentley Blowers’ relentless pursuit of the Rudolf Caracciola's Mercedes SSK paved the way for the victory to the Bentley works team Speed Six of Barnato and Glen Kidston. Despite this, many consider the Blower’s finest hour to have come in the 1930 French Grand Prix at Pau. Amid a field of Bugatti Grand Prix cars, Birkin wrestled the huge Bentley to a heroic second place in what was almost certainly the heaviest car ever entered in a grand prix, at over two tonnes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model is a perfect scale replica of the No. 9 Bentley 4½ litre which competed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans on 21 and 22 June 1930. Driven by Sir Henry (Tim) Birkin and Jean Chassagne, the #9 was involved in an epic duel with fellow Bentley Blower racers Dr Dudley Benjafield and Giulio Ramponi and the Rudolf Caracciola and Christian Werner piloted Mercedes-Benz SSK. The SSK started strongly in the bright sunshine but, by the fourth lap, Birkin was on Caracciola's tail at the Pontlieue curves. Reaching 195 km\/h, he passed the Mercedes as they braked heavily for the Mulsanne corner. Birkin continued from this manoeuvre, setting a new lap record of a 6m48s, but on the next lap the tread came off a rear tyre and he had to pit. It took only half a minute to change the wheel, and then in only five laps Birkin was right behind the Mercedes. Just as he again overtook Caracciola on the Mulsanne Straight the tread on the other tyre let go. Although he dropped two wheels off the road, Birkin was able to complete the pass until the tyre blew at Arnage forcing him to pit yet again. By nightfall, after five separate tyre failures, the Birkin\/Chassagne car was running seventh. However, the pressure the duo placed upon the Mercedes soon became clear, the SSK retiring at the halfway point with a flat battery after a wire had come loose on its dynamo. The second half of the race devolved into a routine procession, early morning mist and a heavy rain shower contributing to a dour race. Just before midday, four hours from the end of the race, the Birkin\/Chassagne Bentley broke a conrod and had to retire, leaving the victory to the Bentley works team Speed Six of Woolf Barnato and Glen Kidston. Birkin's courage and fearless driving, in particular his selflessly harrying Caracciola into submission, are regarded as embodying the true spirit of the Vintage Racing era and are widely considered the very reason Bentley emerged victorious at the 1930 Le Mans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine scale model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of the manufacturer regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

Initially a technical experiment for the now Volkswagen-owned Bugatti company, it transformed the motoring landscape forever and rejuvenated the Bugatti brand to no end, turning the supercar into a luxury road car suitable for everyday use. The development is considered one of the greatest technological challenges ever known in the automotive industry. Every single piece of the car was developed from scratch and the engineers at Bugatti worked closely with experts in the aviation and space sectors, industries where materials and systems are routinely subject to extreme speeds and forces. Though the car was setting a new technological benchmark, the design was injected with Bugatti-DNA. The two-tone design created the characteristic side view with the signature Bugatti line. The centre line and horseshoe-shaped radiator grille bridged the gap between the early Bugatti models and the present day. Even the full name, the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4, was a hark back to the marque’s history: ‘EB’ refers to Bugatti founder Ettore Bugatti and the car is named in honour of Pierre Veyron, a Bugatti development engineer, test driver and company race driver who, with co-driver Jean-Pierre Wimille, won the 1939 24 Hours of Le Mans while behind the wheel of Type 57C Tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Veyron was many production car firsts: the first with over a thousand horsepower, the first with a W16 engine and the first to break the 250mph (402kph) barrier. The car boasted unparalleled statistics which only a handful of manufacturers have matched since. Powered by an eight-litre W16 engine with four turbochargers that developed 1,001bhp and 1,250Nm of torque, the 1,888kg Veyron possesses a power-to-weight ratio of 523bhp per ton and could accelerate to 60mph in 2.5 seconds. This enabled it to reach a top speed of 253mph (407km\/h), making it the fastest car in the world – a record it would hold for two years. A later variant of the Bugatti would reclaim the record from the SSC Ultimate Aero TT and keep that record until 2017, another seven years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond the engine, Bugatti worked in partnership with Michelin to develop the world’s first mass-produced tyre that can withstand speeds in the region of 400km\/h and could be used everyday. Together, they developed a new tyre pressure sensor to withstand the 130 kg centrifugal forces placed upon the wheels at top speed. Carbon-ceramic brakes discs were chosen to withstand brake disc surface temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees. In addition, titanium was used for the brake disc hub instead of the usual stainless steel, giving the Veyron by far the strongest braking performance in the automotive and motorsport industry at the time. Bugatti regarded the rear wing to be the most important technical element. At high speed, the wing could flip up to an angle of 55 degrees in less than 0.4 seconds, increasing rear axle downforce, thereby improving the distribution of braking power between the front and rear axles. The airbrake alone caused deceleration of up to 0.6 G and, when combined with the 1.4 G generated by the wheel brakes, the Veyron had ample stopping power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElevate your 1:8 scale collection with one of our elegant, harmonious and handcrafted display cabinets, stands or plinths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe offer a tailor-made service, customising your 1:8 scale model to perfectly match the specification of a real car, enhancing the already stunning features of the limited edition model.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Limited Edition","offer_id":63258992050563,"sku":"M5221-VEN","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bespoke","offer_id":63258992083331,"sku":"M5221-VEN","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/8391\/0275\/files\/AmalgamBugattiVeyronBlack-Red1-8-7-PRODUCTPIC-f04f992d-3522-472f-8e92-26b440d54416.jpg?v=1794225238"},{"product_id":"bugatti-gangloff-type-57-cabriolet","title":"Bugatti Type 57SC Gangloff Cabriolet","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOne of just three examples made in period, this Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic was ordered by Frenchman, Mr Philippe Levy, in this wonderfully art deco-appropriate colour scheme.

There is good reason for the current valuation of 1 VEV between $10 and $15 million USD. Discipline is the father of creativity, and the beautiful form of the DB4 GT Zagato was moulded and forged by the demanding brief handed to Ercole Spada to take every aspect of the already exceptional DB4 GT’s performance, and push it to a new level.  With a raised top speed of 154 mph, the Zagato bodied car added three miles per hour to the top speed, with 0-60 in only 6.1 seconds. This was truly a race car made legal for the road, and anyone who has seen one of these cars up close will have experienced the impression of aircraft quality engineering they exude. In a nutshell, this car is automotive art at its most refined, and with only 19 cars created it is no surprise that the value is so very high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo faithfully recreate 1 VEV, we were honoured to be given access to the original car to capture every detail with a very precise digital scan, and make a photoshoot of around 1000 high resolution images. Primary references have been taken from photographs shot at the 1961 Goodwood TT, with secondary references from other races of the period, and from the car today which was carefully restored to its original specification in 2007.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsidered by many as the most desirable Aston Martin road car of all time, the DB4 GT Zagato is easily one of the most exciting and beautiful sports cars to ever emerge from the UK. It was unveiled at the London Motor Show at Earl’s Court in October 1960, clothed in a stunningly beautiful and lightweight body from the famous Italian coachbuilder Zagato. As pre-cursors to perhaps the most famous Aston Martin, DB5, DB4GT and DB4GT Zagato played a crucial role in defining some of the iconic design cues still used in by Aston Martin today. Only 19 examples of this car were ever produced, and this rarity is reflected in their high value today: an original could be expected to be achieve over five million pounds at auction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DB4 itself was released to universal acclaim in 1958, whilst the GT variant was introduced just a year later, with Aston Martin eager to take it to the track. For this reason, the GT model had distinct modifications which prepared the DB4 for racing endurance. A shortened wheelbase, a much sparser interior and lighter bodywork contributed to its 85kg weight loss over the standard car, whilst the hood concealed a potent version of the 3.7 litre, straight six-cylinder engine that used triple Weber carburetors, twin-spark ignition, high lift camshafts and a 9:1 compression ratio raise power output to 302 bhp. Furthermore, the model had a dual-plate clutch, close-ratio transmission, Salisbury Power-Lok differential and larger Girling disc brakes. The GT’s maximum speed was 151 mph (243 km\/h) and could sprint to 60 mph (97 km\/h) in just 6.1 seconds. It was the fastest road legal production car at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a large factory backing, the DB4 GT was raced extensively with success by many famous drivers of the day. Despite this, Aston Martin felt they could achieve more, having emerged victorious at the 1959 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans with the purpose built DBR1. Enter Milan-based coachbuilder Zagato. Styling of the car was enlisted to Ercole Spada who was a newcomer to the Zagato firm and only 23 years old. In less than a week, Spada had transformed the DB4 GT, combining the essence of the Aston Martin’s shape with Zagato’s free flowing lines into a smaller, even more lightweight car. Many steel components were replaced by aluminium counterparts. Nearly every non-essential element disappeared such as the bumpers. With the help of Perspex and aluminium components, a further 45kgs were shed from the GT’s weight. The front incorporated the curved profile of Aston’s signature grill and the front was low enough to warrant twin bulges on the hood for valve cover clearance. In the trunk was a huge fuel tank and spare tire which left room for little else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Zagato did race, earning a podium on its first competitive appearance in the hands of Stirling Moss. Three Zagatos competed at Le Mans in 1961, including the most well-known 1 VEV and 2 VEV of John Ogier's Essex Racing Stable. A repeat of the 1959 Le Mans victory was not to be, with all three cars retiring. Success would follow for the first time just a month later at Aintree in a British Grand Prix Support race, as Lex Davison, behind the wheel of 2 VEV, took a last lap lead from a Jaguar E-Type. Further success followed at several British circuits such as Silverstone, Oulton Park and Brands Hatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato replicates chassis DB4GT\/1082\/R, more commonly known as ‘1 VEV’, exactly as raced at the 1961 RAC Goodwood Tourist Trophy in the hands of Roy Salvadori for John Ogier’s Essex Race Stable. Arguably one of the car’s finest moments, Salvadori qualified third fastest after practice with a time of 1 minute 36.6 seconds, ahead of his teammates Jim Clark and Innes Ireland, but behind Stirling Moss and Mike Parkes in their Ferrari 250 GT SWBs. A slightly slower start dropped 1 VEV to fourth behind Clark at the end of the first lap, though Salvadori regained this place soon after as the trunk of Clark’s Aston had opened itself and had to pull into the pits to fix the issue. Around halfway through the race, Parkes was black-flagged when part of his undertray began to drag on the road after an off-course excursion behind the bushes at Woodcote, allowing Salvadori and 1 VEV up into second place. This was not to last, as Parkes made a tactical surprise on his fourth and final pit stop, managing to undercut both Salvadori and Ireland to regain second place. Although Salvadori tried hard in the last 15 minutes to pull back the seven second deficit, the heavier Aston Martin just did not have the steam to make up any ground and he brought the car home to claim the final podium position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 VEV was originally built and raced together with sister car ‘2 VEV’ (DB4GT\/0183\/R) by John Ogier’s Essex Race Stable. Both cars were lightweight track focused versions of the Zagato derivative. 1 VEV was originally purchased and raced in the ‘green’ shade of Aqua Verde Caliente “1 VEV” and appears to have been sold by Ogier around early 1968, by which time it appears to have undergone at least 3 colour changes – ‘white’ around April 1965, ‘maroon’ around April 1966 and ironically ‘Ferrari red’ in October 1967. The car remained with Mr. Gregory up to 1990, in which it appeared to have undergone several bodywork changes to trim and arches, as well as minor interior modifications such as a radio, before being restored around 1990 and bought at auction. Despite these changes, given the lengths of ownerships and that the car had no major accidents, it remained very original. In 2007, under the watchful guidance of 1 VEV’s owner, the car was faithfully and extensively restored again, this time as accurately as possible, ensuring a return to its original 1961 specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Aston Martin regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

The 2022 season would see O’Ward claim two victories in Alabama and Iowa, as well as two further podiums, while Rosenqvist achieved an additional podium in Toronto.

Since the 2018 season until the end of the 2023 season, this has been the Dallara IR-12 chassis with IR-18 Aero Kit, whilst Honda and Chevrolet have provided the teams with different engines. Commonly referred to as the 'IR-18', the IR-12’s IR-18 Aero Kit was inspired by CART's 1990s and 2000s designs, but with a more streamlined appearance to reduce both aerodynamic downforce and team and manufacturer design development costs. The Aero Kit has fewer small aerodynamic pieces that can become broken or dislodged, with the intent to reduce the quantity of debris that ends up on the track, and is most notably lacking wheel guards, which were deemed to be a particular issue. The cockpit protection system, a combination of the Halo mandated in Formula 1 and a reinforced windscreen dubbed the “aeroscreen”, provided by Red Bull Advanced Technologies, was added in time for the 2020 season, to lessen the probability of traumatic head injuries from flying debris.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis fine model of the Dallara IR-12 with Dallara IR-18 Aero Kit is a 1:8 scale replica of the #5 Arrow McLaren SP car raced to victory by Pato O’Ward in the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park on the 1st of May 2022. O'Ward qualified second, his teammate Rosenquist sixth. The race, which took place in dry, sunny conditions after morning thunderstorms, unfolded initially as a strategic duel between drivers who chose a three-stop strategy and those who opted for two stops. However, that strategy unravelled when rookie Callum Ilott spun his No. 77 Juncos Hollinger Racing Chevrolet into the gravel trap adjacent to Turn 9 on Lap 32. That incident triggered the only full-course caution of the race and essentially returned the entire 26-car field to the same tire strategy. Nearly every driver pitted either just before or after Ilott’s incident and, following the restart on Lap 35, O’Ward remained second behind SONAX Chevrolet’s Rinus VeeKay and Rosnequist had dropped to eighth position. Dutch driver VeeKay managed to extend his lead to 2.0875 seconds over O’Ward by Lap 60 before pulling in for his final pit stop on lap 62, O’Ward following him in for fresh tyres. VeeKay was first to leave the pit lane but O’Ward pounced on the out lap; the Mexican racer passed VeeKay with a brave outside move in the hairpin Turn 5, before pulling ahead. The danger was far from over, however, as reigning champion Alex Palou produced sizzling in and out laps in the #10 The American Legion Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, and re-entered ahead of VeeKay in second. Palou kept O’Ward on his toes until the chequered flag, pulling to within 8951 of a second on Lap 73. O’Ward held off the threat though, taking victory by 0.98 seconds, sealing his and Arrow McLaren SP’s first win of the season. It was also Pato's third career victory. Sadly, for his teammate Rosenquist, a slight miscalculation in fuel meant he was forced to focus on efficiency rather than racing, and he dropped to sixteenth position by the end of the race.","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63258993820035,"sku":"M6194-SC3","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/8391\/0275\/files\/DSCF6586.jpg?v=1794225247"},{"product_id":"bugatti-eb110-lm-1994-le-mans","title":"Bugatti EB110 LM - 1994 Le Mans","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on the car as raced by Alain Cudini, Éric Hélary and Jean-Christophe Bouillon in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe on 18 and 19 June 1994\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:8 scale model, over 55 cms\/21 inches long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach model hand-built and assembled by a small team of craftsmen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade using the finest quality materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThousands of precisely engineered parts: castings, photo-etchings and CNC machined metal components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt using original CAD designs, paint codes and material specifications provided by Bugatti\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficially licensed 24 Hours of Le Mans product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith plans being put in place from 1989, the EB110GT was presented to the public in Paris in 1991 on the day that would have marked Ettore Bugatti’s 110th birthday, hence the car’s name. The car was originally designed by Marcello Gandini but his designed angular design was considered too radical and Giampaolo Benedini was tasked to soften the design into what we now know as the EB110.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mid-engine sports car housed a technologically advanced 3.5 litre mid-mounted 12-cylinder engine, further enhanced by four turbochargers. Two camshafts per bank and 60 valves – five per cylinder – ensured an extraordinarily fast throttle response. Depending on the exact model, the engine generated between 560 and 610HP, permanently transmitted to all four wheels, giving a 0-100km\/h sprint time of as little as 3.26 seconds. This made it the fastest series-production car of its era, and gave it a top speed of 351km\/h. Bugatti set four world records with the EB110: fastest acceleration, fastest series-production sports car, fastest gas-powered sports car and fastest series-production car on ice. Even today, almost 30 years later, the EB110 is still among the world’s fastest cars. The aluminium body panels are bonded to a carbon fibre monocoque chassis; the EB110 was the first road car to feature this technique. Aluminium, carbon fibre and aramid fibre-reinforced plastic were used for the body, the wheels were cast from magnesium and each screw was made of titanium. The car also possessed active aerodynamics and an all-wheel drive system, also scarcely used in the automotive industry at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAround 96 EB110 GT and 32 EB110 Supersport production cars were produced up until 1995, a total of around 128 vehicles, two of which were official factory racing cars with an output of 670HP. These raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, at Suzuka and in the American IMSA series, including the 24 Hours of Daytona. They were the last cars to leave the factory gates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine model of the Bugatti EB110 is a 1:8 scale replica of the car that entered the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1994, Bugatti’s first foray at Le Mans after a lengthy 55-year absence from the legendary track. Next to the ‘Dauer’ Porsche, the Bugatti proved fastest in practice and entered the race with drivers Alain Cudini, Le Mans winner Éric Hélary and Jean-Christophe Bouillon. Despite an impressive performance, the EB110 needed all four of its turbos replaced during the morning session and dropped well down the rankings. The team’s race came to an end during the dying laps when a tyre blowout threw the Bouillon into the barriers on the Mulsanne Straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Bugatti EB 110 model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Bugatti regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

Master-minded by Achim Anscheidt, every element of the Chiron was designed to be a combination of reminiscence to its history, taking its name from Bugatti racing legend Louis Chiron, and the most innovative technology. The result was a unique creation of enduring value, and breath-taking automotive accomplishment. Its sophisticated design, innovative technology, and iconic, performance-oriented form made it a unique masterpiece of art, shape and technique, pushing boundaries beyond imagination. The Chiron was an attempt to create something very different from contemporary engine manufacturers, such as Ferrari and McLaren with their leanings towards hybrid technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo reach its unprecedented levels of performance, the Chiron effortlessly merged its captivating beauty with sleek, muscular efficiency, creating a spectacular reinterpretation of the Bugatti design DNA. At the heart of the Chiron was its quad-turbocharged eight litre W16 engine. This unique masterpiece generated an incredible 1,500hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, with four high-performing turbochargers worked in a two-stage controlled configuration. A remarkable 60,000 litres of air were pumped through the engine every minute whilst, simultaneously, 800 litres of water per minute circulated through its core, guaranteeing the cooling of the engine to generate the extraordinary power. A new titanium exhaust system with reduced gas back pressure and lightweight materials, such as carbon fibre, maximised power and performance. The intelligent air intake management significantly improved aerodynamics and enhanced the cooling efficiency for engine and brakes, whilst the distinctive quad LED headlights also served as air intakes to the front brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Chiron could power from a standstill to 62mph (100 km\/h) in 2.4 seconds, make 124 mph (200 km\/h) in 6.1 seconds, reach 186mph (300 km\/h) in 13.1 seconds and achieve 248.5 mph (400 km\/h) in 32.6 seconds. It also broke the 0–249–0 mph (0–400–0 km\/h) record time, completing it in a ridiculous 41.96 seconds in a span of 2 miles (3.2 kilometres). The Chiron also staggeringly became the first production vehicle to break the 300mph barrier when a pre-production Chiron Super Sport 300+ prototype was driven at 304.77 mph (490.48 km\/h) at Volkswagen's test facility in Ehra-Lessien.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine model of the Bugatti Chiron is as launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 2016.

Painted a gray-metallic blue, No. 57374 was built without the \"C\" specification and it is believed that it had been equipped with various components from the Aérolithe prototype before the car was brought back to Molsheim in order to have the \"C\" specification fitted, Lord Rothschild’s request. He would continue to use the car until 1941 when he abandoned it in the middle of a field after a malfunctioning supercharger caused the engine to explode. A mechanic bought 57374 and repaired it, before selling it to a wealthy doctor in 1945. This doctor brought the 57SC to the US and sold it to Bugatti enthusiast Mike Oliver, who amongst other changes to adapt the Atlantic to US regulations, painted it a dark red. The car returned to Molshiem in 1953 to have the supercharger refitted. The car changed hands in 1971 for a total of $59k to collector Peter Williamson, who actively used the car for the next 32 years. He returned it to its original state and exhibited at the 2003 edition of Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance where it won the \"Best of Show\" award. No. 57374 remained in the Williamson family's possession until 2010 when it was sold for no less than $30 million to collector Peter Mullin who now exhibits it in his French car masterpiece collection at the Mullin Automotive Museum located in Oxnard, CA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eR.B.

Bugatti was so taken by the grace and sophistication of his creation that he had the second Atlantic built for his own personal use. At the outbreak of the Second World War, La Voiture Noire was sent to a safe region, as German troops invaded Alsace, and lost forever. Its last historical mention is on a list of cars that were to be sent to Rue Alfred Daney in Bordeaux in February 1941.

Introduced as the second-generation Super Series, the supercar product family at the heart of the McLaren brand, the 720S is a multiple award winner, receiving worldwide praise from media outlets and automotive specialists. Lighter, stronger and faster than its predecessor, the 720S possesses unparalleled levels of interior space and sophistication and a breadth and depth of abilities that will engage and exhilarate the driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe beating heart of the 720S is a new and fearsomely powerful 4.0 litre twin turbocharged M840T engine, continuing the lineage of McLaren’s multiple-award-winning V8 engine series. Every part of the power unit is refined to maximise power, sharpen responses, and increase fuel efficiency, resulting in a power output of 710bhp and 568 lb ft of torque. Performance is truly astonishing: standstill to 62mph (100km\/h) takes 2.9 seconds and just 4.9 seconds later the car has passed the 124mph (200km\/h) mark on its way to a maximum speed of 212mph (341km\/h).

One of the key points in the design of the new McLaren 720S is the absence of radiator intakes on the side of the car; this function is carried out by the unique ‘double skin’ aerodynamic form of the dihedral doors, which channel air to the high – temperature radiators that cool the mid-mounted engine. The smooth flow of the exterior lines manipulates onrushing air to reduce drag and cool the engine. Slim pillars on the teardrop-shaped cabin allow for the extraordinary glass canopy that floods the interior with daylight and offers unrivalled visibility. The majestic twin-hinged dihedral doors are one of the most alluring design features of the 720S.

Driven by Italian Elio de Angelis and rising star Ayrton Senna, the 97T proved competitive, taking three wins, six further podiums, eight pole positions and three fastest laps as well as collecting 71 Championship points. It is generally agreed that the Lotus 97T had the best chassis of any car that competed during that season, with the best braking and turning capabilities, meaning it peaked at slow and tight circuits like Monaco, Montreal, Detroit and Adelaide. However, while fast, it was unreliable mechanically, particularly with its Renault engine. Out of its ten retirements that year, seven were mechanical.

It was powered by the same four-cam Ford V8 fuel injected engine that was used in the 34, providing around 500bhp. Though the 38 was significantly larger than Formula One cars of the era, it was still dwarfed by the massive American roadsters. The 38 was also specially designed with an offset suspension, which in theory, was better suited to the oval track of the Indy 500.

The 250F raced at the pinnacles of motorsport in an age of rapid development, debuting in 1954 and still battling hard in 1960, spanning a golden though often difficult and dangerous era of Grand Prix racing. Most famously raced by two of the greats in Grand Prix history, Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss, the 250F is widely considered the definitive front-engine Grand Prix racer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn out of the 2.5 litre regulations new for the 1954 Formula 1 season, the 250F followed the lines of Maserati's Formula 2 racers of 1952 and 1953. Former Ferrari engineers Gioacchino Colombo and Valerio Colotti were lured from Maranello to Modena to work alongside project lead Giulio Alfieri. A simple tubular frame carried the suspension, aluminium body panels and engine. The front suspension was independent by wishbones and coil springs. The rear used a DeDion type axle, made popular by the front engined Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix racers of the 1930s. All in all, the setup was far from revolutionary, but the straightforward design did make it a popular choice with privateers, including a certain Stirling Moss, who purchased one with his race winnings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 1957, an all-new multi-tubular spaceframe chassis was laid down. It followed the same lines but was considerably lighter and stronger than the much more conventional original. The drum brakes remained, though with improved stopping power and cooling characteristics. The latest version of the straight six engine was carried over but was not mounted off-set in the new ‘Tipo 2’ or ‘T2’ chassis. Work on a brand-new engine with twin overhead camshafts commenced in 1956. An engineering work of art, the 2.5 litre V12 produced 320 bhp at a startling 12,000 rpm. That was a whole 50 bhp more than the straight six. The V12 would only make one racing appearance for the works team, before the cash-strapped marque retired from international racing at the end of the 1957 season. It remained the most powerful car built during the 2.5 litre era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn all, the 250F was entered into 46 Formula 1 World Championship races through a mammoth 277 entries, earning eight victories, eight pole positions and 10 fastest laps. Success was not limited to official events, with race wins coming at Goodwood, Pescara, Pau, Aintree, Oulton Park, Modena, Buenos Aires, Rome and Bordeaux, to name a few. Famous drivers include Fangio and Moss, who took all eight of those official victories, and also Jean Behra, Hans Herrmann, Jo Bonnier, Masten Gregory, Maria Teresa de Filippis, Peter Collins, Roy Salvadori and Luigi Musso. 26 cars were built over the course of the 250F’s five year production span and every car was unique, constructed with differing features as the design evolved. Other cars may have been more successful, but few have ever done it with such style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Maserati 250F is a perfect replica of the car raced to a legendary victory by Juan Manuel Fangio in the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring on the 4\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e August 1957. Regularly cited as Fangio’s greatest drive, if not the greatest in all racing history, the 46-year old Argentine overturned a deficit of almost a minute to win the race and his fifth World title. Fangio started on pole ahead of the Ferrari Mike Hawthorn, but whilst the Ferrari would run a traditional non-stop race, the Maserati would be pitting for fresh tyres and fuel. A slow start would see the Argentine drop behind Hawthorn and his teammate Peter Collins, starting from fourth, but Fangio would retake the lead on lead three. He maintained his lead, setting four new lap records in the process, eventually pulling in for his pit stop at the end of lap 12.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pit stop was a disaster; the mechanic removing the rear left wheel lost the wheel nut under the car, taking half a minute to find it. Fangio entered the pit lane with a 28 second advantage; he left 48 seconds behind Collins in second place, who himself had gone faster than Fangio’s new record. After a couple of laps running in his tyres, Fangio began to mount a charge, gaining as much as a second per mile on lap 15. Setting lap record after lap record, the Argentine reeled in his Ferrari rivals overtaking both on the twenty-first and penultimate lap, holding the British duo to take a race victory by 2.8 seconds that would forever cement his and the 250F’s names in Formula 1 folklore for ever more. Perhaps it was fitting then, that this would be the last victory Fangio would take in Formula 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.

In the hands of Monegasque racer Charles Leclerc and Spaniard Carlos Sainz, in their fifth and third seasons respectively with the team, the SF-23 will be looking to continue the Scuderia’s progress in the Constructors’ Championship after claiming four wins and finishing second in the standings during the 2022 season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhilst the SF-23 is officially an evolution of the previous season’s F1-75, which is no surprise as the team’s 2022 entrant claimed a season-high 12 pole positions, underneath the surface much of the car has been completely redesigned. The SF-23’s features increased vertical downforce in order to recover overall downforce lost to the season’s updated aero regulations and achieve the desired balance characteristics for the drivers. The suspension has also been redesigned, to support aerodynamics and increase the range of adjustments that can be made to the car at the track. The most obvious changes are in the area of the front suspension: low track rods, a revised front wing and nose construction. The bodywork was also updated, with slimmer sidepods. One of the F1-75’s biggest faults during 2022 was the reliability of its power unit, so much of the SF-23’s development over winter months focused on making the internal combustion engine and electric motors more robust, to handle a more aggressive setup and eliminate the weaknesses of the power unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model is of the Ferrari SF-23 as raced by Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz during the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship.

Retaining the hugely successful coupé’s refined proportions and mid-front-engined 2+ layout, the Spider introduces an automatic soft-top, not seen on a front-engined Ferrari since the launch of the 365 GTS4 in 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the four-time ‘International Engine of the Year’ award-winning V8 turbo family, comes the Ferrari Roma Spider’s 620 CV engine.  Focus was placed on delivering superior driving pleasure and comfort when dynamically developing the coupé and these innovative features have been transferred to the Spider, namely: new cam profiles, and a speed sensor that measures turbine revolutions, allowing an impressive 5,000 increase in maximum rpm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFerrari’s engineers developed a pioneering mobile rear spoiler that has been integrated into the Roma Spider’s rear screen, designed to retain the car’s pure, graceful design when retracted whilst guaranteeing the downforce vital for the Roma Spider’s phenomenal performance by automatically deploying at high speeds. This has been done to guarantee best-in-class performance while still preserving the stylistic purity of its bloodline. The Roma Spider also features a patented wind deflector that can be deployed by the driver without stopping the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned by the Ferrari Styling Centre headed by Flavio Manzoni, the Roma Spider’s sophisticated fabric soft top is made of a bespoke material and has been designed to enhance the flawless proportions of the Ferrari Roma coupé whilst guaranteeing the same levels of comfort as a car with a retractable hard top. The sober, spare front of the car looks as if it were sculpted from a single block of metal, creating an overhanging, sharknose effect. Engine cooling is guaranteed by the perforated surfaces, creating a new interpretation of the grille concept. The edges of the front grille flow into two linear, full-LED headlights, which are traversed by a horizontal DRL strip that brings a sense of tension to the entire circumference of the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContrasting typical Ferrari sports cars, which tend to build around the figure of the driver, the Ferrari Roma Spider’s cockpit takes on an almost symmetrical structure, with the creation of the Dual Cockpit concept. This has created an organic distribution of space and the car’s functions within the cockpit allowing the passenger to feel integral to the driving. A dedicated interactive display has been added to the passenger side of the car, allowing the passenger to transform into the co-driver. The Roma Spider’s exterior focuses on a clean design, ensuring a smooth flow between its various elements with balanced proportions and elegant dimensions. To further highlight the car’s minimalistic design, all unnecessary detailing has been removed, allowing the illusion that the car was sculpted from a single block of metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari Roma Spider has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops using CAD directly from Ferrari’s design office allowing us to perfectly recreate every detail at scale.
