250TR 59/60 (LE MANS WINNER 1960): Belgian drivers Paul Frère and Olivier Gendebien finished first at Le Mans in 1960 in this car, which was the start of a six consecutive wins at the French circuit. The TR 59/60 was lighter than its predecessor, producing 306 hp from its 3.0L V12 engine. Pininfarinia designed a new enveloping body and the engine was mated to a new Colotti five-speed gear box. The one-two win at Le Mans gave Ferrari the World Sportscar crown in 1960. Model by SPARK 1/43. |
250 GT SWB Berlinetta (Le Mans 1960): A private entry at Le Mans was this car (Ch.#2001GT) owned by Fernando Tavano, which he co-drove with Piere Dumay to 4th place overall and 1st in class at Le Mans in 1960. Designed by the same trio that brought the 250 GTO (Giotto Bizzarini, Carlo Chitti & Mauro Forghieri), the 250 SWB Berlinetta used the 3.0L V12 engine, which produced 276 hp; good for almost 160 mph on the Mulsanne Straight. Its shorter wheel base made it a terrific handling car which dominated GT racing in the early 60's. Homologation of the 250 GT SWB occurred just before Le Mans and there were six cars entered for the race. Tavano took delivery of his car the Monday before the race and it proved to be a both reliable and successful; not only at Le Mans, but the car was actively raced until the mid-60's with many wins during its career. Model by ALTAYA 1/43 |
250 GT SWB Berlinetta (Le Mans 1960): Ecurie Francorchamps entered this 250 GT at Le Mans in 1960 for Pierre Noblet and Leon 'Elde' Dernier. The pair finished 6th (3rd in class) behind two other 250 GT's. Ferrari took six of the top seven spots at Le Mans that year. Noblet would finish 3rd at Le Mans in a 250 GT SWB in 1961 and second in a 250 GTO in 1962. Elde would finish 3rd at Le Mans in a 250 GTO in 1962. Model by MATTEL 1/43 |

PLEASE NOTE: From 1968 into the 1990's tobacco companies sponsored many significant race cars. We don't promote tobacco use, rather we stronly discourage it. However, we do promote historical accuracy, Old Irish Racing chooses
to display models in our collection as historically accurate as possible. While seeing a tobacco advert on a car gives me no more desire to go smoke than seeing a car makes me want to go
suck on its exhaust pipe. If tobacco (or alcohol) adverts on race cars offend you, please go look at nice pictures of bunnies and kittens on another site. Thank you!
