Ferrari 412 P #22 1967 24h Daytona Jean Guichet / Herbert Müller in 1:18 scale
This is the Ferrari 412 P #22 1967 24h Daytona Jean Guichet / Herbert Müller in 1:18 scale by Top Marques.
The Ferrari 412 P #22, entered by Scuderia Filipinetti at the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans, was driven by French endurance ace Jean Guichet and Swiss racing star Herbert Müller. Guichet was a Ferrari works driver and former 1964 Le Mans winner, while Müller was a versatile sports-car racer known for his speed in Ferrari and Porsche prototypes. The #22 was chassis 0848, powered by Ferrari's 3,967cc naturally aspirated V12 and qualified at an impressive 3:39.1, making it one of the fastest customer prototypes in the field. The 412 P was essentially Ferrari's customer version of the 330 P4, distinguished by its carbureted V12 rather than the P4's fuel-injection system, while retaining the spectacular mid-engine layout and lightweight prototype construction. Unfortunately, the #22 retired after just 88 laps in the seventh hour because of an oil-related failure, but it remains significant as one of the rare customer-built Ferrari prototypes from the legendary 1967 sports-car season.
Top Marques produces high-end 1:18 and 1:12 scale model cars that are generally regarded as premium collector pieces. Most of their models are resin replicas, which allows for very sharp body lines, accurate proportions, and high-quality paint finishes that closely replicate the real vehicles. Their larger 1:12 scale models especially showcase extensive detailing, sometimes including removable parts and carefully reproduced engines, while many of their 1:18 models are sealed display pieces designed primarily for visual accuracy rather than opening features. Produced in limited editions, Top Marques models are often sought after by collectors for their craftsmanship, rarity, and focus on historically significant racing and exotic cars.
