Up for auction are three 1/18 scale metal die cast models of legendary Ferrari automobiles.
- Ferrari 250 GTO by Burago
- Ferrari 250 SWB by Jouef Evolution
- Ferrari 250 California Spider by Mattel Hot Wheels
The only blemish on any of the models appears on the "Ferrari" badge on the rear of the 250 SWB. The name plate is an applied metal applique and the "i" in Ferrari is slightly lifted or bent. it's probably an easy fix for an experienced modeler, but I will leave that to the new owner. The factory paint on the burago 250 GTO shows a little 'orange peel' or uneven application, mostly visible on the rear fenders; it has been my experience that many burago models display this condition.
I ran a kleneex tissue over the models to polish then up a bit (big mistake) and the tissue left dust specks on the surfaces, sorry for the poor photography. Regardless, the pictures are good enough to substantiate my claim that these three pieces are in very good to excellent condition. Models come without original boxes.
The shipping fee may seem substantial at $15.99, but these models weigh in at over 1.5 pounds each. It will require a rather large and heavy box to ship them. Actual shipping will likely be more, but I will pick up the difference. Bidding starts at $39.99. Good luck.
