Shell Collezione Classico 1952 Ferrari 500 F2
A collaboration between the prestigious super-car brand, the Ferrari, and one of the world’s largest oil company, Shell Oil Company, to create a miniature version of the cars that majority of us can not even afford to touch. The Collezione Classico is a limited-edition collection of diecast model Ferrari miniature cars. It features the classic Ferrari cars which are no longer in production.
The car featured here is only one of the limited featured cars; the 1952 Ferrari 500 F2 (625 F1) Monoposto. This red scale model is sized 1:38, being item #101 with pull back action. It's details are stunning, being very accurate to the original version which was used by Ferrari to win the 1952 Grand Prix Season Constructors & Drivers Championship from 1952 to '53. It was originally 4.5 liters, until it was reduced to 2.5 liters in 1954.
