Ferrari at the 1957 Mille Miglia
The Transporter is by Old Cars - now quite an elderly casting - Exoto have announced they will be releasing one shortly.
The Ferrari 315/335s are from Art Model - the #535 is that of Taruffi who won the race, #534 was driven by Collins, which retired early. The #531 is the ill fated De Portago/Nelson car which crashed, resulting in the deaths of both together with a number of spectators. I am missing the second placed #532 of Von Trips.
The numbers on the cars represent the times the cars were released at the start in 1 minute intervals, hence Taruffi was flagged away at 5.35am.
Cheers,
Steve
