CMC M-268 1/18 Ferrari 250 LM #31 RHD winner Monza 1964 Vaccarella
Description
Limited edition of 1,500 pieces
The car was delivered to Scuderia Filipinetti in Switzerland in 1964, along with another 250 LMs. Georges Filipinetti was a racing-mad entrepreneur and Ferrari general importer for Switzerland.
Chassis 5899 won its debut race for Scuderia Filipinetti. Ludovico Scarfiotti completely outclassed the competition at the Sierra Montagna hillclimb on August 30, 1964.
Jochen Rindt, who occasionally raced this vehicle, complained at the time about the Ferrari's steering wheel being far too large in his opinion, saying that it would fit much better in a truck than in a racing car.
After a serious accident in 1965, the vehicle was rebuilt—but with a Porsche 906 body instead of the original. The vehicle was then used in this form by several different Swiss and Austrian owners.
After further accidents and rebuilding, the car was only properly restored at the end of the 1990s and subsequently certified by Ferrari Classiche in 2005.
Nino Vacarella won the Coppa Intereuropa in Monza with this car on September 6, 1964.
