Ceramic Ferrari model

This is a ceramic model from an 1997 f310 B.
I was told it was ordered from Ferrari themselves and that only 50 were ever made.They where made in Barcelos, a small town near where i live.
As far as i know there are 3 in Portugal. The base is 60 cm long so this is quite a big model. Obviously it´s far from perfect and it's form is very rough but perfection was not the goal here. As you might imagine making a ceramic/porcelain Ferrari is not very easy. This was given to me by a very good friend and i believe this one is the first from the batch, and it served as a prototype. Helmet was suposed to be Shummy's but you can see they finished it in blue with a couple of stars.
All in all, i like it a lot because it was given by the biggest Tiffosi i ever met, and it's a very artisanal piece, made especialy for Ferrari.
Hope you guys like it.
