Enzo Ferrari was not renowned for his infectious good humour but even he must have cracked a smile when three of his cars – led by the first-placed 330 P4 of Lorenzo Bandini and Chris Amon, depicted here – finished the 1967 Daytona 24 Hours side-by-side, mimicking the famous one-two-three finish of Ford GT40s at Le Mans in ’66. It’s said that the Daytona photo hung in his office for a long while after.
Werk83’s model – made for the company by Ixo in Bangladesh – is in diecast metal, so it feels satisfyingly robust, although it has no opening panels: you can turn the front wheels and that’s it. Conveniently, the winning P4 was the spyder version – the secondplaced Scarfiotti/Parkes P4 was a berlinetta – so you’re allowed a better view of the modelled interior and it’s very well finished overall. Good value.
