Ferrari 365 P2 No. 18 Le Mans 24H 1966 M. Gregory/ B. Bondurant in 1:43 scale
This is the Ferrari 365 P2 No. 18 Le Mans 24H 1966 M. Gregory/ B. Bondurant in 1:43 scale by Looksmart.
The Ferrari 365 P2 No. 18, entered by the North American Racing Team (NART), competed in the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans with American stars Masten Gregory and Bob Bondurant. Gregory, nicknamed the “Kansas City Flash,” was a fearless and highly experienced sports-car racer who had previously won Le Mans in 1965, while Bondurant was a celebrated American driver who had finished fourth overall at Le Mans in 1964 with a Shelby Cobra Daytona. The 365 P2 was a formidable mid-engine prototype powered by a 4.4-liter Ferrari V12, producing roughly 420 hp, and the NART No. 18 was distinctive for its closed-body configuration and contoured rear bodywork, unlike the open Ferrari prototypes. Finished in NART’s distinctive white-and-blue colors, the car was a striking privateer interpretation of Ferrari’s endurance machinery, although it retired with a transmission failure after 23 hours.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
