Description
Today I am offering a collection from a former CMC dealer and long-time collector of these beautiful models. Almost all of them are in new condition, in their original packaging, with all accessories as shown in my photos. If the model has leather straps for closing the hoods, these have never been opened. In many cases, the security stickers are still present. Everything should be clearly visible in the photos. One or two original packages may show signs of storage.
You will receive an invoice according to §25a UstG without showing the statutory VAT for used goods.
Not suitable for children under 14 years. May contain small and sharp parts.
Model History:
After the brief debut of the D50 at the 1954 Spanish Grand Prix, the Scuderia Lancia prepared very meticulously for the new season over the winter with test drives in Monza and Ospedaletti. Lancia's racing team participated in the Grand Prix of Turin and Pau in 1955. Ascari won the race in Italy confidently, and in France, he was leading by two laps until two laps before the end but had to pit due to a technical defect – Jean Behra in a Maserati 250F won the race, and Ascari still finished fifth. However, neither event counted towards the World Championship, so Alberto Ascari could not score any points despite his success.
During practice for the Monaco Grand Prix, Mercedes cars were favorites. Moss and Fangio lived up to this role in the race – however, all Mercedes drivers fell victim to technical defects. So, in lap 80, Alberto Ascari unexpectedly took the lead – after the last remaining Mercedes of Stirling Moss retired. But a driving error by Ascari in the harbor chicane catapulted his car across the track and over half a dozen hay bales into the harbor basin. Alberto Ascari survived this potentially fatal accident by bravely jumping out of his race car. None other than the Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis had the damaged Ascari fished out of the sea and his bruises treated on his yacht. The race in Monaco was surprisingly won after almost three hours by Maurice Trintignant in a Ferrari 625, ahead of Eugenio Castellotti in a Lancia D50 and Jean Behra in a Maserati 250F.
Instead of enjoying a bath in the crowd for a victory that was already clearly in sight, Ascari had to settle for an involuntary bath in the harbor basin.
Just a few days later, the sad news of the death of the lovable and talented two-time world champion Alberto Ascari shook the global racing community. He was fatally injured in Monza during a private test drive with a friend's Ferrari.
