This is the Ferrari 250 SWB 24H Le Mans 1960 #19 in 1:18 scale by BBR.

The Ferrari 250 SWB #19 that competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1960 left an indelible mark on motorsport history. Piloted by the skilled duo of Wolfgang von Trips and Phil Hill, this iconic car showcased exceptional racing prowess. The 1960 Le Mans race was notable for its fierce competition, and the #19 Ferrari faced formidable challenges on the Circuit de la Sarthe. Wolfgang von Trips and Phil Hill demonstrated remarkable teamwork and driving precision, navigating the demanding track with finesse. What sets this race apart is the tragic turn of events, as von Trips would later become involved in a fatal accident during the Italian Grand Prix later that year. Despite the somber note, the 1960 Le Mans race remains a poignant chapter in motorsport, highlighting the blend of triumph and tragedy that is inherent in the world of racing. The Ferrari 250 SWB #19, with its distinctive red livery, stands as a symbol of both excellence and the human drama that unfolds on the racetrack.

This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. BBR models are known for their accuracy of scale, shape and detail throughout the industry. Each model is created using a variety of production processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for the most authentic replication.

BBR models are usually produced in very small production quantities that often sell out at "pre-order"
