This is the Ferrari F1 158 #7 World Champion 2nd 1964 USA GP in 1:12 scale w/ Driver Figure by GP Replicas.

John Surtees claimed an impressive second-place finish at the 1964 United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, driving the Ferrari 158 (#7) entered by the North American Racing Team in a rare blue-and-white livery. Already an F1 legend and former motorcycle world champion, Surtees leveraged his dual-discipline expertise to navigate the fast, newly resurfaced 3.7 km circuit under crisp autumn conditions. What set this race apart was Ferrari’s protest against the Italian authorities by running in U.S. colors—an unprecedented move that underscored internal tensions yet ultimately crowned Surtees as the only driver ever to win world titles on two and four wheels.

This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
