Arno Ferrari - Model boat - Riva Ferrari F430 maquette 90 cm

Incredible display piece ready to be exhibited, 90 cm long Riva Ferrari F430 scale model! Sold with its wooden presentation stand. Obtained at a nautical modeling enthusiasts' exhibition in Paris. This design directly references mythical racing hydroplanes, in particular the historic Ferrari Arno XI designed in the 1950s by Achille Castoldi (powered at the time by a Ferrari V12 engine). Although themed here around the V8 F430 engine, it reproduces the aerodynamic lines and the sleek aesthetic of vintage competition hulls of the “three-point hydroplane” type. It features meticulous finishes typical of these collectible items: cockpit upholstery, gunports, chrome steering wheels and accessories, racing markings (like number 71) and authentication plaques that recall the world of paddocks and prestige motor boating. Very good overall condition, despite some signs of wear and possible minor impacts here and there. See photos for more details of this magnificent object which impresses with its size as well as its complexity. Shipping from France, well protected and trackable

Estimate:£317.38
