Ferrari 375 Plus 1st Buenos Aires 1000kms 1955 #4 Saenz-Valiente/Ibanez by Faenza 43
Ferrari 375 Plus 1st Buenos Aires 1955 #4
Chassis 0374AM was delivered new to Enrique Saenz Valiente in 1953 and was initially painted in Argentinean colours of blue and yellow. In the 1954 Buenos Aires race the car was rolled and required major repairs and was repainted in red and black. The owner shared driving duties with Jose-Maria Ibanez in 1955 and they won from a similar machine having been behind Trintignant in a works car for the early part of the race. The two-tone paint finish on the model is neatly applied and the few decals and small etched details are carefully fitted.

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.
