Finished in classic ferrari red with racing number 2 and scuderia ferrari shield, the model captures the elegant pre-aerodynamic era of grand prix racing. The model features an open-wheel configuration, detailed cockpit with steering wheel and seat, exposed exhaust pipework, spoked-style wheels, and period-correct proportions. The underside is stamped “brumm – made in italy”, with model reference markings, consistent with early brumm production. The lot is offered with its original brumm window box, labeled series r68 – ferrari d246 hp 215 – 1957. The box, with blue and gold printed panels and clear acetate window, shows noticeable age-related wear, including edge rubbing, scuffing, and discoloration, but remains intact and complete. Condition: the model is in good vintage condition, showing surface wear, paint chips, and minor abrasions consistent with age and handling. Decals show wear but remain largely intact. The box exhibits moderate to heavy wear consistent with long-term storage. Sold as seen.
