Hi,
I came across a photo of a 250TR model and thought it was very nice and a brilliant colour scheme but cannot find out anything about it.
Have any of the forum members any knowledge of this one please... Chassis number, history, who or what colour scheme is this one. I know there were many private owners and race history only seems to be of the International variety....
Any help appreciated.
David

This model has been made by Nestor (Jean Liatti) |

Looks like my initial thought on the model being chassis 0758 was wrong, as I have found a couple of black and white photos of the #26 here and it is chassis 0714:

here is a concise history of the car which sold recently for $12.1 million

I will keep looking, as I would swear I have seen a color photo of the car as modeled. |

Great links thank you but cannot find any photos of the actual car..... assume the colour scheme is white with the stripes representing the Venezuelan flag...
Thanks, David |

I believe that this car is chassis 0758 with an extensive history of racing in Venezuela, but I do not know at which race it wore #26. Here are some links to its history:
