Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta: Overview

Possibly the most important Ferrari ever, Ferrari serial #0008M was driven to a win at the 1949 Le Mans by Luigi Chinetti; it will sit next to the coupe version (Berlinetta) already built.



I've wanted one of each (Berlinetta and Barchetta) ever since I saw pictures of them in Road & Track in the late 1960's, but since they tend to sell for tens of millions (dollars, euros, sterling, whatever) each on the rare occasions they do come up for sale, I'm going to have to settle for the 1/24 scale models which are rare enough.



What gorgeous little cars! Stay tuned.
