This is the Ferrari 315S 3.8L V12 Spider #8 5th 24h Le Mans Stuart Lewis Evans/Martino Severi in 1:43 scale by Topmarques.
At the 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Scuderia Ferrari-entered 315 S Spider #8—powered by a 3.8L V12—secured a solid fifth-place finish with British driver Stuart Lewis-Evans and Italian Martino Severi at the wheel. Lewis-Evans, known for his talent in Formula One with Vanwall, was an up-and-coming racer, while Severi was a seasoned Ferrari test driver. This edition of Le Mans was marked by blistering speeds and growing concerns over safety, as cars like the 315 S pushed the limits of endurance and engineering. Despite lacking the outright pace to challenge for victory, the duo's consistency and the car’s durability allowed them to survive the attrition-heavy race. Their result contributed to Ferrari’s continued dominance in endurance racing and added depth to a race remembered for its high-stakes battles between Ferrari, Maserati, and Jaguar.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
