History

This North American Racing Team (NART) Ferrari 412P raced in the 1967 Le Mans 24 hour, driven by Pedro Rodriguez and Giancarlo Baghetti. The car failed to finish the race having retired with a broken piston. Originally a P3 car, Chassis No. 0844 was converted several times in its life to various specification and colours as there were very few of this type made.

The car’s career followed the famous races of the day. In 1966, as a P3, it was raced in the Monza 1,000km (Surtees/Parkes, 1st), the Spa 1,000km (Parkes/Scarfiotti, 1st) and at Le Mans (Bandini/Guichet, DNF).

In 1967 it was updated to 412 spec. and raced in the Daytona 24 Hours (Rodriguez/Guichet, 3rd), the Monza 1,000km (DNF), Le Mans (Rodriguez/Baghetti, DNF). The car was then converted to a Can Am.

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.
