This is the car, number 14, which powered Phil Hill and Peter Collins to victory at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1958. Six of these Testa Rossas competed in the 1958 edition of the mighty race, including three Works entries and three privateers. Appreciating that Sebring is notorious (even to this day) as a circuit of high attrition, Hill and Collins decided pre-race that they would not drive at ten tenths in the early stages, saving both the car’s brakes and gearbox. They sat in fourth position in the first hour, then fell to fifth and stayed there for the next three hours. In the fifth hour, both Astons experienced a gearbox problem and before the halfway mark, number 14 took the lead. Covering 200 laps, 1040 miles and an average speed of 86.5mph, this was the car that established the all-new Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa as the main sports car championship contender for that year, with its second straight victory in the series.

This fine 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari 250 TR has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of of the historians at both the Automotive Club de L'Quest and Ferrari Classiche regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings. The use of supremely accurate digital scanning of the original car has allowed us to perfectly recreate every detail at scale. Furthermore, it has undergone detailed scrutiny by both Ferrari’s engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation.
