Footnotes

This amazing miniature masterpiece was built as an accurate commemoration of Jody Scheckter's 1979 World Drivers' Championship-winning Ferrari 312T4 Formula 1 Grand Prix car. First introduced in 1974, the 312T's most significant new feature was its transverse gearbox positioned ahead of the rear axle (hence the 'T' designation), which had been adopted by Ferrari's Chief Engineer Mauro Forghieri in order to achieve greater mass centralisation. The 3.0-litre horizontally opposed 12-cylinder engine was carried over from the preceding 312 B3 and now produced a maximum of 495bhp. After a delayed - and troubled - start to the 1975 season, the combination of Nicki Lauda and the 312T won four Grands Prix to bring the Italian manufacturer its first World Championship for 11 years. In his World Championship-winning season, also his first year with Ferrari, Sheckter won three Grands Prix at the wheel of the 312T4, the Italian manufacturer's first attempt as a 'ground effects' car.

Made in Italy by CMP, this rare and unrestored Ferrari 312T4 child's car is powered by a four-stroke engine and measures 2.2 metres in length and 1.12 metres in width. A wonderful gift for the young aspiring racing driver, this unique and collectible, original and period artefact would also be the perfect exhibition piece for company offices, reception areas, hotel lobbies, private collections, or even living rooms.
