Beautiful car set!!!!! AMR did a fantastic job on this set and the theme. I bet you are very happy with this purchase ferrari10flrb!!!
I think that it is considered the first and last Lemans victory for Ferrari (factory backed entries)... I have BBR's first and last Lemans winners 2 car set which includes the 166MM (which you have in your AMR set) and the F430 Competitione by RISI Competitione. However, the F430 is not per-se backed by the factory... It might be but the last i read about it, it wasn't...

Thanks for sharing!

Yes I forget to say that this cars where overall winners.

Sadly the last time was in 1965.
But in GT class Ferrari private teams where quite succesfull. The last 3 times I was there!

I wish for the future that there will be a Ferrari factory team with a big V12 engine at Le Mans fighting with the Peugeots and Audis for the overall victory at Le Mans.

Dirk,
A nice historical set, and what a beautiful display.
Did not realize that Ferrari's last overall win was in 1965.
"Who would've thunk it?" Thanks for posting.

Cheers and Happy Collecting,
Steve
