The Scalextric model
The Ferrari 412P is a perfect racing partner for our current Ford GT40 range, both having outstanding performance. In-car detail is up to the expected high level as is the rest of the cars external decoration. We believe we have captured the shape and soul of this famous race car. This version was raced at the Le Mans 24hr race in 1967.
