1/18 Ferrari 500 F2 1953 The Double World Champion #6058 CMC M-056 -pre-owned
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 to close 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 the other original packaging may show signs of storage.
You will receive an invoice according to §25a UstG without showing the statutory value added tax for used goods.
Not suitable for children under 14 years. May contain small and pointed parts.
Model History:
The Super Ferrari
1950 is the birth year of Formula 1. Ferrari, with its unchanged trademark "Cavallino Rampante," is the only racing stable to have been there from the beginning. With great success; the 375 F1 is almost unbeatable. In 1951, Alfa Romeo, previously the bitterest rival, withdraws – boredom threatens to set in. Finally, in 1952, the racing formula is changed: Grand Prix races are held with Formula 2 cars. And as luck would have it, Ferrari already has a suitable car ready: the 500 F2. The vehicle is very light and relatively small. Further advantages include a low center of gravity, a balanced distribution of unit weights, good brakes, and the high-torque four-cylinder engine developed by Aurelio Lampredi with its 185 hp. All in all, this results in excellent driving characteristics and good handling. But Ferrari has even more to offer: with Alberto Ascari, a gifted racing driver is ready, who rightly bears his nickname "the flying Milanese."
The proud record: Ascari becomes world champion in 1952 and 1953. Other drivers, such as Villoresi, Farina, Taruffi, or the young Brit Mike Hawthorn, complete the 500 F2's winning streak with further good placements. Ferrari wins almost everything there is to win in both years – and that's why the 500 F2 is given the nickname "Super-Ferrari."
With our all-metal model, we pay homage to the legendary 1953 world champion car with the latest technical developments. Let the wealth of detail of the model, consisting of 1,463 parts, and the craftsmanship precision impress you. Just take a look under the hood or the removable rear part of the model, and you'll know what we mean. By the way: we've saved you the trouble of counting the rivets on the fuel and oil tank. There are exactly 526 of them.
