Art Model - 1:43 - Exceptional Lot of 3 Historical Ferraris: 166 MM, 290 S & 500 TRC Limited Edition Strictly New In Origin (Mint in Box) A unique opportunity for the most demanding collectors of the Horse & Cavalier firm. We have the privilege today to present a highly homogeneous and exceptional lot composed of three masterpieces from the prestigious Italian manufacturer Art Model. From the private collection of a great adult Ferrari aficionado, this selection celebrates the golden age of Maranello’s sports and race cars. DETAILS AND HISTORY OF INCLUDED MODELS The rarity of this lot is rated Medium to High due to the presence of an historic reference from the brand’s early days and a limited special edition. 1* Ferrari 166 MM Spyder - Stradale Rossa (1948 / Miniature 1993) • Manufacturer Reference: ART005 (Major historical reference from Art Model’s very first catalog). • History: Born to celebrate the legendary 1949 Mille Miglia victory, the 166 MM is the car that truly established Ferrari’s name around the world. The “Stradale Rossa” (road) edition enhances the sculpted line drawn by Carrozzeria Touring. • Model Technique: Fine reproduction of the 2.0-liter V12 “Colombo” engine (1,995 cm³) in a naturally aspirated version visible from certain angles, with photo-etched grille, wooden steering wheel ringed in aluminum faithfully reproduced, and fine-spoked wheels. 2* Ferrari 290 S - 12h Sebring 1957 (1957 / Miniature 2004) • Manufacturer Reference: ART075 • History: Bearing the official team number 62, this racing beast was entrusted to the legendary Masten Gregory / Lou Brero crew during the merciless 12 Hours of Sebring 1957. • Model Technique: Heavy injected-die-cast chassis with resin elements. Absolute fidelity to the powerful 3.5-liter V12 with four camshafts (derived from the 290 MM). The race cockpit layout “Spouder,” the windscreen in plexiglass, and the period racing numbers are placed with surgical precision. 3* Ferrari 500 TRC - Mille Miglia 1988 (1957 / Miniature 1998) • Manufacturer Reference: ARTS02 (Highly sought-after Special & Limited Edition) • Serial Number: Exclusive No. 2011 / 3000 (Specified on the original label) • History: Driven by the duo Guasti / Bazzi during the legendary historic reissue of the Mille Miglia in 1988. The original 1957 500 TRC is considered by many as one of the most beautiful racing barchettas ever created. • Model Technique: Exclusive “ARTS” variant. It stands out for its treatment of the 2.0-liter red-headlamp inline-four “Lampredi” engine (hence the name Testa Rossa). High-end finish with metal wiper, chrome aluminum quick-fill cap, and perfect tampographs of the sponsors of the 1988 historic race. ABSOLUTE CONSERVATION LEVEL: These pieces display a Strictly New / Mint in Box (MIB) condition that will satisfy the most stringent preservation standards: • Never displayed: Kept in total light protection (no fading), free of dust and temperature variations. • Controlled atmosphere: Strictly non-smoking environment. • Zero handling: The miniatures have never been removed from their box since purchase, except for the initial handling for taking photos for this sale. • Perfect display cases: The original outer cardboard sleeves, engraved bases, and plexiglass domes are in essentially new condition.
