Miki Bellagarda collection

Never heard if him. I do remember an issue of Cavallino from early or mid-90´s in which they featured the miniature-collection of a Japanese collector. He had about 15.000 little Ferrari´s in his collection. Amazing pictures.

It was de Cavallino with Enzo´s portrait on the cover.

 

Cavallino issue 70. But that was an article about Junichiro Hiramatsu, who had indeed over 15,000 (!!!) scale Ferraris. I have never ever heard of Miki Bellagarda, did he collect on scale or the real things?

 

I know very well Miki Bellagarda , or better he's quite a brother , cause I know him since almost 40 years .
He says that I have been the true cause of his passion and collection , many years ago .
He owns a collection of more than 4000 1/43 (he collect only this scale) Ferrari models, more than 20.000 pictures of real Ferraris and copies of registration documents of quite every car produced by Ferrari in 50'/60'/and 70'. In the mean time he owns a bibliotheque of hundreds of books , brochures and other publications concerning the same sacred argument : Ferrari.
It's true that he owns a pretty original 308 gt4 .
I post two pictures taken from specialised european magazines and concerning Miki.

Ciao

The wooden diplay with p-series is unique!
Its a special set by AMR, I believe 3 were made, his collection came up on the miniwerksforum recently.
He owns one of every AMR Ferrari ever made, which is amazing!
AMR has increased in value considerably lately.

 

Miki is also writing a book about the 308 GTB Michelottos and I'm looking forward to that.

I have one AMR model built by a professional builder (Gijsbert Achterberg). I'm considering selling it. What would it be worth in your opinion?

Best, Peter

Thanks big brother!

 

Going from Ebay-experience anything between 120 and 160 euro's would seem a fair price for a non factory AMR. Gijsbert is however a very skilled builder. I have two of his pieces and they are excellent. Is he still in business?

 

Ahh - the man himself?

 

Maybe.

 

I would like to think so, but on the internet you can fool anyone!

 

Very small correction: Mr. Bellagarda owns a 208 GT4, not a 308 GT4.

Red with blue interior, 10936?

 

Correct!

 

Ciao Lars,
the Dino is a 208, but the engine is from a destroied 308.

 

Grazie Miki (I suppose it´s you, right?)

Ha, so that kind of makes it a 308 after all

Do you also know the s/n of the destroyed 308 perhaps?

Ciao,

Lars T.

 

Ciao Lars,
unfortunatly the engine number is...modified. I've bought it almost fifteen years ago.
The original car was an early GTB fiberglass I think, but I don't have the number.
What's happened to Telaio? Ciao, Miki.

 

I remember this collection from the official magazine of the French Ferrari-club (Ferrari Club , la revue officielle du Club Ferrari) It is published in issue nr. 4 April 2005

Some pictures are the same but some are different and show parts of the (impressive) collection... Will put them here while i'm not able to use a scanner...

BTW... Working on a book dedicated to the 308 GTB/M?? Please keep me updated when this book is released! In the same issue mentioned above there is a story on the 308 GTB/M also.

Hi Miki,

Telaio is still alive & active, now as a private internet forum - let me know if you´d like to re-join and I´d be happy to let you know more details

Ciao,

Lars T.

 

I thought Telaio always was private.

 

Miki,
Your 208 in at Spa in 2005
best

True, but it wasn´t always an internet forum

Ciao,
