Precise replicas now available to order at 1:18 scale
We are excited to reveal the completion of our latest development project: the Ferrari F1-89 at 1:18 scale. These stunning models precisely replicate the cars raced by Nigel Mansell and Gerhard Berger during the XLII Shell British Grand Prix at the Silverstone Circuit on the 16th of July 1989. We have received approval from the designer and engineering teams in Maranello and are now accepting orders on the initial batch, with a view to dispatch the first models before the end of the year. This will be the only batch of F1-89 models we will be able to dispatch in 2024 and, due to the limited number of models available, orders will be taken on a first-come first-serve basis. We recommend ordering early to avoid disappointment.
All in stock models are currently available to order with free shipping on our website using code GIFTINDULGENCE at the checkout.
Hand-built and assembled by our small team of skilled artisans.
Each 1:18 scale model measures over 24 centimetres (9 inches) long.
Mansell qualified third at Silverstone with Berger in fourth, behind the McLarens of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost. The Ferrari duo started the race cleanly, letting their main rivals battle into the first corner. Berger pulled into the pits with electrical issues, rejoining the race several laps later. Senna span into the gravel on the entry to Becketts on lap 12, due to gear selection issues, promoting Prost into the lead and Mansell into second. The leading pair extended their lead over the rest of the field, Prost maintaining a slim advantage over the British racer. On lap 42, Mansell developed a puncture on his front right tyre, forcing him to pit, handing full advantage to the Frenchman. Prost was delayed on his own scheduled pit stop but returned to the track with a healthy lead over Mansell. Prost reached the chequered flag 19 seconds ahead of Mansell, with a further 29 second gap to the Benetton of Alessandro Nannini completing the podium. Berger ultimately retired on lap 49 due to a mechanical issue.
