Notes

A beautiful set in outstanding condition with a fascinating story to tell. Monty says:
“This set came from a collector in San Francisco who bought it new. During the 1974 earthquake it fell off a shelf and landed on the floor and one of the drivers lost his head!”

(However, we still have the driver’s head).
This set looks completely unused and makes a stunning display piece. It comprises 5 Ferrari Racing Cars and features 5 famous racing circuits Nürburgring, Silverstone, Le Mans, Monza, Sebring. Complete with accessories ( 2 x spare chrome engines and 6 spare wheels).

Beautiful artwork throughout.
Card packing is included. Wonderfully vivid illustrated box has only the most minor wear.
A really difficult to resist set!
