Cooper T51 Ferrari 4th Italy 1960 #2 Cabianca by Jade Miniatures
We associate Cooper's T51 Grand Prix machines with power units from Coventry Climax and that was the case with the works cars and other run by British teams such as Rob Walker and BRP. The Italians preferred locally sourced engines however, Scuderia Centro Sud looking to Maserati and Scuderia Eugenio Castellotti used a Ferrari-based 2.5 litre unit.. It is the latter car that we see here, smartly hand finished by Jade. Four races were entered, the last of these the Italian GP which saw a two-car team and Giulio Cabianca followed three factory Ferrari's home for the car's best result.

The kits are generally pretty simple with well cast resin bodies, small numbers of resin and white metal ancillaries and a modest amount of etch. In the case of open wheeled subjects, the etch usually includes most or all of the suspension. Hand builts generally well finished. Made in France.
