Description

CMC Ferrari 250 LM, 6th place 24H France 1965, #27, chassis 6119, Spoerry/Boller, RHD Limited. High-quality collector's model in 1:18 scale.

This 250 LM was sold along with several others to the Swiss privateer and his Scuderia Filipinetti. The car had its first outing at the 1000km race in Monthléry in 1964. In 1965, it finished sixth overall at Le Mans and won its class at the Swiss Championship in Monza. The car was later sold to Pierre de Siebenthal and then ended up in the United Kingdom, where it was part of the collections of Anthony Bamford, Don Nelson and Martin Hilton. The former Scuderia Filipinetti 250 LM was added to a collection from the Middle East in 2010 and then completely restored by Ferrari.

Dieter Spoerry was one of the most successful Swiss racing drivers in the 1960s. He and his co-driver Armand Boller competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June 1965 with chassis 6119 for Scuderia Filipinetti. The starting field included four other Ferrari 250 LM cars. Spoerry/Boller achieved 25th place in qualifying and finished sixth overall in the race with starting number 27.
