1/18 CMC Ferrari 250 GTO 1962 BLUE #1782 CMC M-152 -pre-owned-
Description
The model comes from an estate. The collector was one of the very early fans of CMC models. All models were kept in dustproof wall display cases custom-made by a carpenter. Please view all pictures to see what you are getting. Most models are in absolute top condition in their original packaging with all papers. The boxes may show signs of storage, especially those of older models.
Not suitable for children under 14 years. May contain small and sharp parts
In March 1961, Ferrari became nervous. The reason for this was the newly introduced Jaguar E-Type at the Geneva Motor Show. They saw it as a serious competitor and feared losing their supremacy in racing.
Enzo Ferrari acted immediately and commissioned Giotto Bizzarrini as project manager to develop a new GT vehicle. The well-proven 250 GT/SWB served as an experimental vehicle for Bizzarrini. It was clear that the chassis should be adopted as unchanged as possible with the same wheelbase of 2,400mm. The rear axle, body aerodynamics and the vehicle's center of gravity were particularly in focus and were gradually improved.
The homologation was now completed with the new type designation 250 GTO, where the "O" stood for the Italian word "Omologate". Due to the famous "palace revolution" against Enzo Ferrari, some of the responsible GTO developers, including Bizzarrini, had to leave the factory.
His successor was Mauro Foghieri, who, together with body designer Sergio Scaglietti, completed the development of the vehicle. The new GTO was presented to the world press in Maranello in February 1962 with a phenomenally beautiful body.
Its first race was in 1962 at the 12 Hours of Sebring/USA, where the driver duo Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien immediately achieved a victory in the GT class and finished second overall in the entire field. From then on, things only went uphill; in 1962, 1963 and 1964, Ferrari secured the Brand World Championship with the GTO.
A total of 39 GTO vehicles were built, 3 of which had a four-liter engine.
Look forward to CMC models of absolute superlatives. You have the choice between silver, yellow, blue and red exterior paints to select a miniature according to your personal taste.
