Ferrari 512 S 5.0L V12 #14 1970 24h Le Mans in 1:43 scale
This is the Ferrari 512 S 5.0L V12 #14 1970 24h Le Mans in 1:43 scale by Looksmart.
At the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ferrari 512 S 5.0 L V12 #14 run by Scuderia Filipinetti was driven by experienced Swedes Jo Bonnier and Reine Wisell in one of Ferrari’s most powerful sport prototypes of the era. Qualified 9th on the grid, the car showed strong pace but was forced to retire after a collision in the fourth hour, a common fate in a race marked by heavy rain and high attrition that wiped out many contenders as Porsche’s 917s and Ferrari’s rivals battled through treacherous conditions. What set the 1970 Le Mans apart from many other events was not just the prestige of the 24-hour endurance format but the extraordinary mix of weather and competition — only seven cars were classified at the finish — turning it into one of the most demanding and unpredictable editions of the classic French marathon.
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
