This is the 1965 De Tomaso 2000 Competizione Italy Red in 1:43 scale by Avenue 43.
The 1965 De Tomaso 2000 Competizione was a lightweight experimental racing prototype that reflected Alejandro De Tomaso’s push to take on Europe’s biggest manufacturers with bold engineering rather than big budgets. Powered by a compact 2.0-liter engine and built with a focus on minimum weight and sharp chassis dynamics, it offered impressive agility against rivals relying on much larger powerplants. What set the 2000 Competizione apart was its combination of innovative construction, striking Italian styling, and underdog racing spirit — a rare example of De Tomaso’s early ambition to fuse motorsport performance with distinctive design.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
