I understand that a number of sets of the Ferrari 1-2-3 at Daytona 1967 were made..... I thought this was a story as I could not find any history on the AMR website. The set was to commemorate the remarkable finish at Daytona of a P4, P4 Spyder and a 412P finishing 1st, 2nd & 3rd....
I thought it was one of the 'holy grails', something of legend and had never seen a set until now.....
A very good friend of mine in France rescued a set after a house fire and sent the set to Jean-Francois Alberca for restoration here is the before and after.....

This is my interpretation on the original base that, many years ago, Umberto Codolo, it gave to me.
The models are MG modified.

Fantastic thread!
I have a question about the Start-No. 26:
Here the rims are grey, but I saw also photos of the car where the rims were light blue.
What colour is correct? Or did the colour change during the race due to usage of different wheels/rims?
Thanks in avvance for your help. |

Goodness, I posted this on the forum with delight as I had not seen this set before.... it is a bit of a 'work in progress' and yet to be 'weathered'.
This is a set rescued from a fire and magnificent in its own right.
As they say 'beauty is in the hands of the beholder'.....
A wonderful job done to date guys |

Thanks 250 GTE .... and sure I enjoy the set .Only a least note about original notion , the kits used by Tron were AMR/Annecy Kits , so , why add remember pieces and write " kits AMR " because after , there are not the original AMR kits which are used ;-))) |

Great set. Beautiful restauration job. And as David said, as long as the owner is happy the job is a success. |

We've a different view about originality so enjoy the set. |

For me David , it's absolutly not important because it's quasi impossible to verify that ;-)) |

The most important thing is that the owner is happy. But considering the amount of work it was a pity that that "10%" of originality was lost as I would have easily been able to provide him with Remember ancillaries. |

Sorry David , but I don't think like you because JF has saved 90% of the original pieces . Yes, the rhodoid are new LOL . And we can read on the plaquette " maquettes AMR ". For me it is a fabulous coffret .And ,also for Chris ,the set is not finished because
the cars will be dirty in the final ( I asked to JF , not very dirty , it is what I want ) . |

Well - I'm happy it went to a good home!
I agree, the set should have been restored following the original features. It lost its originality. |

Good work, but as said by david...it would have been better to restore it with authentic parts. Also i miss 'the dirty touch'....
but JFA did a superb job
here's my set ( david, do you remember this one ;-) ) :
