Ferrari 250 Monza Mille Miglia 1954 #608 by Faenza 43
Alternative version FAE272B Mansfield
Faenza describes this car as a 250 Monza which was a very rare machine indeed. However, it appears to be chassis 0262M the 166MM which originally wore Abarth bodywork and was then re-bodied by Scaglietti in the style seen here. The confusion comes from original owner Giulio Musitelli owning this and a 250M at the same time and installing a 3-litre engine when the new body was fitted. The finish is very good on both but we’re struggling for race images and only have a picture of the car with no numbers. Another unusual one.

About Faenza 43
Charming hand-built resin models of interesting and often obscure subjects. The various Ferrari and Maserati machines which ended up in SCCA races of the late 50s and early 60s are a particular speciality, but also plenty of machines raced in Europe too. Paint finishes sometimes a little flat )or should that be more realistic!?) but otherwise very good. Made in Italy.
