Description
This model is new and has never been exhibited before. It comes from a toy store's forgotten warehouse and has only now been rediscovered – along with other CMC models. This is a rare opportunity to acquire this long-sold-out special edition model in mint condition. Only a few pieces are available.
I check the model for damage before shipping, as it has been in its original packaging for over 10 years.
You will receive an invoice WITHOUT VAT shown, in accordance with §25a UStG.
Not suitable for children under 14 years. May contain small and sharp parts.
Jean Kerguen, one of the best private drivers of the late 1950s French racing era, was given the opportunity to participate in the 1961 Le Mans race with his Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato. His race preparations were ably supported by Garage Mirabeau, Aston Martin's French dealer. The Mirabeau team was further strengthened by Aston Martin factory expert Des O'Dell, whose extensive development experience and excellent knowledge of the Le Mans racing scene provided invaluable guidance.
Thus equipped, Jean Kerguen and his co-driver Jacques Dewez (pseudonym "Franc") started the race from the front of the grid, alongside two other Aston Martins from the English ERS racing team. The start was excellent, and throughout the race, the car ran absolutely perfectly and without any problems, much to the delight of its drivers and the entire racing team. The only mechanical interventions during the race were the replacement of the brake pads after 14 hours and a clutch adjustment after 16 hours.
When Kerguen's Zagato made its final pit stop after 23 hours, it was in ninth position overall, and the prospects for an excellent result were promising. Jacques Dewez was ready to tackle the final 50 minutes when he discovered that the engine wouldn't start after pressing the starter button. Hasty checks, carried out personally by expert Des O'Dell, revealed no discernible faults when inspecting the battery, all visible cable connections, and the starter motor itself.
Deeply disappointed, after 286 successful laps and 50 minutes before the end of the race, they had to throw in the towel and abandon the race. Up until the retirement, the car was in third place in its class.
