Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa #22 Lucybelle II CMC M-086 limited to 2,000 units -pre-owned-

Ferrari Testa Rossa Lucybelle II

CMC offers all racing enthusiasts another version of the Ferrari Testa Rossa. This is a 1:18 replica of the Ferrari Testa Rossa that competed at Le Mans in June 1958.

Edward (Ed) Hugus and Ernie Erickson were the two racing drivers who fought for victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in their Lucybelle II—as the white Testa Rossa with starting number 22 was affectionately known. The privateer driver team achieved a very respectable 7th place with the Ferrari Testa Rosse.

The M-086 model is a replica of the original Ferrari Testa Rossa, as it raced at Le Mans in 1958. The model is limited to 2,000 units worldwide. CMC previously presented the original vehicle in its restored condition under the model number M-080. The models, while almost identical at first glance, differ in many ways.
