Ferrari 340 Mexico Spyder Watkins Glen GP 1955 Car #210 6° Place Driver: Preston Gray in 1:18 scale
This is the Ferrari 340 Mexico Spyder Watkins Glen GP 1955 Car #210 6° Place Driver: Preston Gray in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
At the 1955 Watkins Glen Grand Prix, Preston Gray piloted the Ferrari 340 Mexico Spyder, car #210, to a respectable 6th-place finish amidst a competitive field of international and American talent. Gray, a lesser-known but enthusiastic privateer, showcased both courage and commitment in handling the powerful V12 machine originally designed for the punishing Carrera Panamericana. By 1955, Watkins Glen had transitioned from village roads to a purpose-built circuit, offering faster, safer racing while preserving the spirit of American road racing. The 340 Mexico Spyder’s presence at this event highlighted Ferrari’s global racing reach and the enduring appeal of its high-displacement endurance racers in a variety of formats—even years after their debut.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication
