Carrera DIGITAL 124 Ferrari Berlinetta "No.4", Brands Hatch 1970
Item No. 23798
The third very interesting color variant of the Ferrari 512S Berlinetta.
It represents the Gelo Racing team's car that competed in the 1970 1000 Kilometers of Brands Hatch—or better yet, it should have. The drivers were team owner Georg Loos (Germany) and Jonathan Williams from Great Britain. Due to a lack of tires at the start, the car remained in the pits and did not participate in the race.
Porsche 917Ks crossed the finish line in the top three positions – another race in which this car dominated the 5-liter class of the time. The first Ferrari 512S finished eighth. The 1:24 Carrera model, of course, has all its tires mounted. The visual and technical workmanship of this sample are flawless. Only the front axle could benefit from a drop of oil and a slight loosening of the overly tight gear play.
The unique color variations of the 512S Berlinetta with this body style are pretty much exhausted – apart from the varying starting numbers. I was only able to find one Scuderia Filipinetti car with slightly different livery – but all of them had a dominant red base color.
