This is the Ferrari 250GT SWB 3.0L V12 #8 1960 Tourist Trophy Goodwood Mairesse/Seidel in 1:18 scale by KK Diecast.

The Ferrari 250 GT SWB (Short Wheelbase) was one of the most celebrated GT racing cars of its era — renowned for its beautiful Pininfarina-designed body and potent 3.0 L Colombo V12 engine that made it competitive in international GT events.  In the 1960 Tourist Trophy at Goodwood, chassis #8 was entered by Scuderia Colonia and shared by Belgian driver Willy Mairesse and German driver Wolfgang Seidel; the duo brought the car home 8th overall in what was a fiercely contested round of the FIA GT Cup on August 20, 1960. That year’s Tourist Trophy was notable for being part of the burgeoning GT racing scene at Goodwood, where Ferrari’s 250 GT SWBs — including the winning car of Stirling Moss — showcased the blend of road car elegance and racing capability that helped cement Ferrari’s reputation in GT competition.

This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
