    Actually it was the reverse, they were black, should have been silver.

    Anyone have the S/N for this one?

    I hope the authors do not mind this (and if they do I'm sure the photo can be removed), but if anything this is a plug for their book "Ferrari Argentina". Cristián Bertschi and Estanislao Iacona have put together a tremendous historical and photographic record of early Ferraris in Argentina. This is their cover photo (credited to César Rivero) of 0398AM leading 0374AM in Rosario in April 1955. There are nearly 30 pages of information and photos of 0374AM alone including numerous crash photos. That car had a hard life!

    Again, this book is a joy and I highly recommend it.

    They sell both wholesale and retail off their website. Their kits can be made into beautiful models, but it takes a bit of work..

    Thanks for the link Stuart... I've built 1/43 scale kits for many years but only a handfull of 1/12 scale kits but that 375 is really something in those colors!

    Btw did I build any models for you in the 1980's or early 1990's? For many years I was the "house" builder for Mini Grid Scale models in Toronto Ontario?

    Regards,
    Dean

    Here is a rare 1953 Ferrari "Marvin" watch, given as a Christmas gift by Mario Ricci to Umberto Maglioli for driving in the Carrera Panamericana in the Ricci sponsored Ferrari 375MM #0358 and #0320AM. Maglioli started in #0358 but lost a wheel, then switched to #0320 where he finished 5th overall. The next year, 1954, Maglioli won the Panamericana in the very same car, a Ferrari 375MM, only chassis #0392!

    The watch is completely original save the strap, which is a replacement. All of the inner workings, engraving, case and dial are circa 1950s. The face has the "Marvin" logo with a star, and "Carrera Panamericana" below. What is interesting is that it shows the measurments 'kmh' and 'km' at the top outer ring, showing this watch was made for use in a car.

    The back has been inscribed 'N.23 Per Umberto Maglioli con amicisia e gratitudine, Mario Ricci, Vergato. Dicembre, 1953' - roughly translated as 'Number 23, For Umberto Maglioli with friendship and gratitude, Mario Ricci, (city of) Vergato (Bologna, Italy) December 1953 (christmas)'.

    You can read more about the man and the car here: http://carrerapanamericana.homestead.com/english.html

    Expensive but worth it....

    I had George at Mini Grid build some models I got from them, but had no idea who their builder was. In the 1970s and early 1980s I was buying a lot more than I could build myself. BY 1981, I was buying most of my models direct from manufacturers. By 1990 I was pretty much out of collecting, but have kept up with the goings on in the "hand-made" hobby.

    Do you know everything? How do you know the chassienumber? Have you seen a photo of the car then it had the sharknose body?

    Best regards

    The perfection of the 375mm amazes me every time I see it.

    Hi T308,
    Thank you very much for your words.
    It is OK to post a scan of the cover, no problem!
    We are working on something on the 375s, I´ll keep you posted.
    Kind regards.
    Cris.-

    I am somewhat disappointed in what the thread produced. To the relatively less versed people like me the 375 is somewhat of an unknown quantity, yet there appears to be a rich history. I am also a little surprised at the lack of visual material about mechanicals.

    I love the beautiful models, but can we get back to the scale 1:1 cars?

    I think I read about this ~15 years ago - the owner was nonplussed claiming the cam covers were always silver and proceeded to tear up the lawn a bit...
