CMC Diecast 1:18 scale model Bugatti T35 1924 blue. An ingenious eccentric, Ettore Bugatti started his factory in Molsheim, Alsace, & set the pace for the young automobile industry when he himself was still young. With his ground-breaking Type 35 in 1924, he created the superior racing car of his era, which would become the inspiration for many other models. Type 35 had his Grand Prix premiere at the European Grand Prix of Lyon/ France at the 3rd of August in 1924. As of today, the Bugatti Type 35 remains the unparalleled record holder of 1, 851 documented victories. Since all these victories were scored within the short period of 1924 through 1927, the Type 35 is the most successful 8-cylinder in-line engine & racing car of all times. Nicknamed " Le Patron", Ettore Bugatti is remembered as one of the most valued automobile engineers because of his exceptional talent & the new height he set for the technical design of his time. So noteworthy are the so-called "gentlemen" drivers who steered Bugatti cars to victories with a lot of fanfare & charisma. Among those who wound up behind the steering wheel were counts, gigolos, bohemians & adventurers. The majority of them were very wealthy. They lived in a world of luxury that featured excessive parties, startling love affairs, costly wagers as well as reckless urges to play with their lives. Take a close look at our model & be transported back to a world of extraordinary design & elegance in the 1920s – the world of Ettore Bugatti. H&-assembled from 926 parts, this miniature, which is a display of a Grand Prix racing version (without an additional spare wheel), takes a lot of experience & love of details to create. It is a fine example of the authentic replication & superior craftsmanship that only CMC can bring to you. Simply a piece of art. The trademark horse-shoe cooler, the spoke wheels made from aluminum cast, & the rectangular box-shaped engine – these are just a few characteristics that make the car so very special. ****PLEASE EMAIL OR RING TO CHECK AVAILABILITY.

The 1961 Formula 1 season came up with a completely new rule type. The racing teams had to switch their engines from 2.5 to 1.5 liters. Ferrari found itself in a very good position. They had developed a V6 mid-mounted engine with a 120 degrees cylinder angle & a maximum output of 190 hp. The new 156 F1 had a very unusual front design. So pretty soon, many people gave it the nickname Sharknose. Technically & ostensibly, the 156F1 was the most successful development in 1961. The season ended for the Scuderia with a large success but also with a disastrous tragedy. Phil Hill became the first American Formula 1 World Champion. The German Ferrari star Wolfgang Graf Berghe von Trips, that led the ranking for most of the season, became involved in a deadly accident in Monza. Never before joy & teariness was that close on just one day. Our three different models represent all different successful GP appearances of the 156 F1 during the 1961 season. As a matter of course, all three models will reflect the special features of the respective race.

CMC Diecast 1:18 scale model Ferrari 500 F2 1953. 1950 marked the inception of the Formula One World Championship. From Day One, Ferrari was involved in this highest class of auto racing, flashing a distinctive symbol of the small black prancing horse called “ Cavallino Rampante” in Italian. In fact, Ferrari is the only F1 participant that has remained active ever since. Its record of successes is just as impressive. In 1951 Alfa Romeo – the toughest opponent of Ferrari – decided to quit the Formula 1 series. The rules for competition were subsequently changed so that Formula 2 racing cars were allowed to participate in the championship. Luckily Ferrari had already developed one – the 500 F2. The new car was light-weighted & compact in size. Other new features included a very low barycentre, well balanced distribu¬tion of the aggregates, good brakes & high torque. Developed by Aurelio Lampredi, the 4-cylinder engine was capable of rendering 185 hp. All these gave the 500 F2 a superior manoeuvre & response to handling. But there was more. The driver of the 500 F2 was none other than the exceptionally gifted Alberto Ascari. It was not without reason that he was known as ” The flying Milan“. Ascari drove his 500 F2 to the title of a two-time world champion in 1952 & 1953. Other drivers such as Villoresi, Farina, Taruffi & the young Mike Hawthorn also contributed to the winning streak of the 500 F2. This legendary car virtually won everything there was to win during these years, hence its nickname “the Super-Ferrari.” With the return of the Mercedes & the rise of the Maserati in the 1954 season, Ferrari was faced with new cha¬lenges. As a result, its winning streak came to a temporary end. One year later – in 1955, Alberto Ascari died of a tragic accident in Monza, & the whole nation of Italy was deeply mournful. This allmetal model is a sincere tribute to the legendary Ferrari 500 F2, the world championship car of 1953. Hand assembled from 1, 463 parts, M-056 is exactly detailed & feature the craft¬manship & precision that make CMC miniatures so special in the hearts of collectors. Just take a look under the engine hood or remove the rear part to assure yourself! By the way, you can save your’re time if you want to know how many rivets are included on the gas- & oiltank. We already did that job for you. 526 single rivets were necessary to rebuild the tanks true to the original. ****PLEASE EMAIL OR RING TO CHECK AVAILABILITY. TEL: 0870 241 2829.**** ...

CMC Diecast 1:18 scale model Mercedes 300SLR 722 1955 Stirling Moss. Stirling Moss won the 1955 Mille Miglia in a 300 SLR with an average speed of 157.65 km/h over 1, 600 km (97.96 mph in 994 miles). He was assisted by his co-driver Denis Jenkinson, a British motor-racing journalist, who informed him with previously taken notes, ancestors to the pacenotes used in modern rallying. The 300 SLRs later scored additional victories in Germany, Sweden, Ireland & at the Targa Florio in Sicily, & won the world championship for sports cars in the constructors' ranking. However, these impressive victories were overshadowed when the 300 SLRs, leading the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans, were withdrawn after the horrific accident involving the car driven by Pierre Levegh. 82 spectators, & one competitor
- Levegh
- lost their lives in what remains the highest-fatality accident in the history of motorsport. Aspects of the accident were directly related to the SLR's unusual design
- even with the innovative air-brake, the drum brakes were not effective enough to stop Levegh ploughing into the back of an Austin-Healey, causing the car to become airborne. Worse, the ultra-lightweight Elektron bodywork's high magnesium content caused it to ignite in the ensuing fuel fire, causing significant injury & loss of life amongst spectators. Following this tragedy, Mercedes withdrew from competitive motorsport until the mid-1980s. ****PLEASE EMAIL OR RING TO CHECK AVAILABILITY. TEL: 0870 241 2829.****

CMC Diecast 1:18 scale model Porsche 911 Navy. The successful performance of the legendary Porsche 356, the Type 901 sports coupé, was first introduced to the public on the 12th of September in 1963 at the IAA in Frankfurt. One year later by October 1964, the 901 had already reached the stage of series-producton readiness & was debuted at the Parisian Auto show. The company of Peugeot protested, & forced Porsche to change the center-positioned number zero in their type designation, because they owned a copyright of all triple-digit type designations with a zero in the middle. Subsequently, Porsche decided to redefine the type designation as 911. But still some 82 pieces of the serial production had left the Porsche plant with the type designation 901 (real collectors’ rarities). On the 27th of October in 1964, the first model with the type designation 911 was delivered. From now on it's that three digit number, that raises the heartbeat of all sports cars enthusiasts around the world. The "nine eleven-success story" was irresistible. A real Type 901 was the source for our 1:18 scale model. ****PLEASE EMAIL OR RING TO CHECK AVAILABILITY. TEL: 0870 241 2829.**** ...
