Ferrari have been part of the motor racing scene for so long, it seems to me that a thread devoted to Enzo (and associated plumbing) is due, or even overdue. The marque has millions of devotees all over the world, of course, so a general discussion might well be worthwhile.

Would love to see your slot cars - of all types - and greatly look forward to reading your comments. A Red Thread with the Chiti/Selsdon 1949 Le Mans winner to kick things awf.

Thank you in advance.

Trisha, Ferrari was my first 'love' before I found beer, books and girls so looking forward to all the amazing cars on this thread.

This is my new Carrera Ferrari FXX K Evoluzione. This car came with the smaller red guide blade.

 

[Trisha]

Most dramatic styling, Matthew. Not difficult to trace its styling ancestry if you look at the car below.

 

[matthew77]

The wonderful 512BB, a great looking car.

 

[Trisha]

Here's a blue one by contrast.

 

[Trisha]

Spirit's nicely detailed 512M, soon to be superseded by Maurizio's much-awaited example.

 

[Trisha]

One of Maurizio's best. These were so popular in club racing at one time that I had to put my name on mine to prevent it getting lost in parc ferme with all the others.

 

[matthew77]

It looks good in blue, not just red.

 

[Trisha]

David Piper's 412 by Racer. Overscale, over here and I'm very glad.

 

[Trisha]

A red version of Spirit's 512M. Not a tarmac' scorcher but enough performance for fun racing.

 

[Trisha]

A much-modified version of Spirit's Sunoco 512M. It goes well but stuggles on the Mess due to high gearing. A car that gave the 917s a bit of bother in 1971 - but not for long.

 

[Trisha]

A red version of Ocar's resin-bodied White Elephant. I just couldn't bring myself to paint it in its authentic livery.

 

[rastas]

I only have a black one!

 

[Trisha]

Dinger in the 512S on his way from Eau Rouge to Radillon, and Fly's excellent interpretation of the car, minus its rear-view mirrors, of course.

 

[Trisha]

An old and battered GRP body by Betta & Classic, but still going strong.

 

[Trisha]

Big investment, little return. Ne'er mind. Nice car,

 

[tifosi]

OK well everyone knows about my F40 fetish, over 80 1/32 slot cars so far...

 

[Trisha]

The 1953 Lampredi-designed 4.5-litre twin-cylinder engine. An interesting exercise now owned by Anthony Bamford of JCB.

If I start on the display cases I will be a bit busy but here is the top shelf of my Ferrari sports cars

Not officially a Ferrari, the Auto Avia

125S by Modelant

The 166 by Fasten Belts, excellent 3D print and a really good performer on track, I am building up a second one to race

195S by Ocar (and me) looking a little care worn but it has raced a lot! Ninco 166 LM winner behind

Revell Highway 340, also well used.

MMK Mille Miglia

Pug ugly 'egg' from Carrera, I love it!

Another MMK, LM car this time but I cannot find the note of the model.

If I get chance over the next few days I will try to photograph the second shelf

An excursion for Ascari at the 1952 Indianapolis 500 when the wheel spokes in his 4.5-litre car snapped.
