#148 Mairesse/Muller Ebbro item 43637 |
|
This is a rare collectors model in 1:43 scale by Ebbro of Japan, brand new in original packaging, Ebbro item number 43637. The Targa Florio in 1966 was the fourth round of the World Championship for sports cars. There was a big entry by Porsche System Engineering with four 906's including an eight cylinder version and an injected model. However, the glory went to one of the many privateers, the Scuderia Filipinetti #148 car of Willy Mairesse and Herbert Muller coming home in the lead ahead of the works Ferrari Dino 206S and the sole surviving works Porsche 906. The Carrera 6 or 906 was very light at only 580kg, mainly due to its tubular spaceframe chassis and lightweight fibreglass body. It was fitted with a carburetted version of the 2.0 litre race engine giving 220 bhp for a top speed of around 280 kmh. This model features accurate race wheels with correct profile race tyres. The body is very nicely proportioned and depicts the original car very accurately. Other features include windscreen wiper, rear view mirror, filler caps, exhaust system plus all the correct race markings, vents and grilles. The interior is also very well done, with steering wheel, fully detailed dashboard and instrument panel, gearshift and handbrake lever, some engine details visible through the rear plexiglass cover and proper bucket style race seats. Ebbro models are amongst the finest 1:43 scale models of their type available. Detail and finish are absolutely top class and second to none in this price range. All are limited editions, this item being one of only 3000 pieces originally produced for worldwide distribution. This item is brand new in original unmarked packaging. |
