Ferrari Dino 196 S Targa Florio 1959 #142 DNF G. Cabianca/G. Scarlatti in 1:18 scale
This is the Ferrari Dino 196 S Targa Florio 1959 #142 DNF G. Cabianca/G. Scarlatti in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
The Ferrari Dino 196 S, car #142, was entered in the 1959 Targa Florio with Italian drivers Giorgio Scarlatti and Giulio Cabianca at the wheel, but the car unfortunately did not finish due to mechanical issues. Both drivers were respected figures in Italian motorsport—Scarlatti known for his agility in sports cars and Cabianca for his persistence and technical skill. The 1959 Targa Florio was emblematic of the race's punishing nature, with its treacherous mountain roads, blind corners, and ever-changing conditions across the rugged Sicilian terrain. This edition was particularly grueling, highlighting the mechanical fragility of even the most advanced race cars of the era. Despite the DNF, the entry demonstrated Ferrari's ongoing commitment to the world’s most challenging road races and the skill of its national driver roster.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. 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.
