1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB
Competizione -LeMans #14
CMC Model M-079
Limited Edition - One of 7,000
BRAND NEW - FACTORY SEALED!!
CMC has announced that they have started delivery of the second 1961 Ferrari 250 GT the SWB Competizione that competed at the 1961 LeMans 24 hour. This is the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Competizione as driven to a 3rd place finish overall and the GT class victory at LeMans by Pierre Noblet and Jean Guichet. This race car replica (M-079) is comparable to its highly popular precursors in terms of quality and authenticity. This Ferrari 250 GT/SWB, Model M-046 & 077 but has the unique White & Blue livery of the GT Class competitor.
In 2008, a Ferrari 250 GT landed one of the highest bids that had every been made in an automobile auction. Including all charges and surcharges, the bidder was willing to pay 7.04 Million Euros (approx. 10 Million US Dollars) for the vehicle. Why? Just two words, which happened to be the title of the auction: Leggenda e passione or “legend and passion.”
By the end of the 1950’s, the 250 GT was already a much demanded car. Aristocrats or Hollywood stars -- the ones who could afford it -- tried to lay their hands on a street version. Famous race drivers, such as Stirling Moss, Wolfgang Graf Berghe von Trips, John Surtees and Maurice Trintignant, virtually felt obliged to drive a racing version of the 250 GT called “Competizione.” Perhaps no other car has had such an impact on the history of the Scuderia Ferrari.
After having introduced the street version of the 250 GT SWB, CMC is now delighted to offer a high-end precision replic of the racing version, which is composed of more than 1,100 single parts. The CMC model is an authentic replication of an original 1958 model and will include all the spectacular detail that CMC is famous for.
The "Competizione" comes with many distinctive features compared to the street version:
- removable bumpers; additional front air inlets for the cooling of the disk breaks
- Larger 16 inch wheels; 6.00 x 16 (front) and 6.50 x 16 (rear), revised exhaust pipes with chromed SNAP extractors
- Undercarriage including cover plate, quick lifting jacks in the front, Movable racing tank quick opening / closing device (without fuel tank cap)
- Rearranged trunk with a larger tank (130 litres) and removable spare wheel
- Optically altered dashboard with a black shrivel vanish surface
- Door side trim panel is uncovered (without window crank mechanism)
- Carburetor system with open induction funnels and air shield
