CMC Diecast 1:18 Ferrari 250GT Competizione 1961

Product Description

CMC Diecast 1:18 Ferrari 250GT Competizione 1961. In 2008; a Ferrari 250 GT landed one of the highest bids that had every been made in an automobile auction. Including all charges & surcharges; the bidder was willing to pay 7.04 Million Euros (approx. 10 Million US Dollars) for the vehicle. Why? Just two words; which happened to be the title of the auction: Leggenda e passione or “legend & passion.” By the end of the 1950’s; the 250 GT was already a much demanded car. Aristocrats or Hollywood stars -- the ones who could afford it -- tried to lay their hands on a street version. Famous race drivers; such as Stirling Moss; Wolfgang Graf Berghe von Trips; John Surtees & Maurice Trintignant; virtually felt obliged to drive a racing version of the 250 GT called “ Competizione.” Perhaps no other car has had such an impact on the history of the Scuderia Ferrari. After having introduced the street version of the 250 GT SWB; we are now delighted to offer you a CMC high-end precision model of the racing version; which is composed of more than 1;100 single parts. ****PLEASE EMAIL OR RING TO CHECK AVAILABILITY.
