GP Portogallo 1953 - Mario Valentim Art Model item 171 |
|
Rare collectors model in 1:43 scale by Art Model of Italy, brand new in original packaging, Art Model item number 171. This is a finely detailed model of the Ferrari 225 S Vignale bodied Spyder (chassis number 0198ET). The 225 S was only produced in very limited numbers, with only 15 Spyders and 6 Berlinettas being made. This car was initially owned by two Portuguese owners during 1952, then in 1953 was sold to Brazilian Mario Valentim. He had it re-painted in this striking black and red finish and competed in a number of events, such as the GP of Portugal and the GP Monsanto, his best finish being a third place in the Portugal GP. This model features fine photo etched wire wheels with spun aluminium rims, knock off hubs and correct profile tyres, a fully detailed interior with bucket seats, door trims, rear view mirror, gearshift, fully detailed dashboard and instrument panel, woodrim steering wheel with photo etched metal spokes and Ferrari horn button, windscreen with photo etched frame, clutch, brake and accelerator pedals plus lots of fine photo etchings for the panel catches and grilles. Other external details include all correct badges and filler caps. The underside of the model is also detailed with some chassis detail, engine sump, transmission and exhaust system. This is a truly magnificent model of one of the all time classic racing Ferrari spyders. Art Model items come mounted on a black plastic plinth in a clear plastic display box with outer cardboard window box. This item is brand new in original unmarked packaging. |
