CMC Ferrari 250 GTO #22: A Le Mans Legend in 1:18
A long bonnet, a compact cabin, and the purposeful number 22 give this Ferrari a presence that invites a closer look. CMC’s M-253 brings the 250 GTO raced by “Elde” and “Beurlys” to a 1:18 display, representing their third-place finish at the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans. For a collector drawn to endurance racing, the appeal begins with that specific car and event.
The model pairs its racing identity with accessible mechanical detail. Open the hood to examine the engine compartment, then explore the cabin through the working doors. Sliding windows add another small interaction, while the dashboard presents an array of instruments and controls. These features give you several ways to display the Ferrari and return to it over time.
At the rear, an opening trunk and flip-open fuel-filler cover continue the presentation beyond the familiar front profile. Steerable wheels let you adjust the stance for a shelf or cabinet. The diecast-metal construction includes plastic components, with rubber tires completing the model’s running gear.
This edition is limited to 2,200 pieces worldwide. It is an appealing choice for a collection organized around named race entries: the number, crew, and event provide a clear identity alongside other historic sports cars. At approximately 9.5 inches long, it also offers enough scale to appreciate the body shape without requiring an exceptionally large display area.
Why This Ferrari Stands Out
- A specific endurance-racing subject: The #22 entry connects your display to the 1962 Le Mans result.
- Several opening compartments: Hood, doors, and trunk provide access to different areas of the model.
- Small functional details: Sliding windows and the fuel-filler cover reward close inspection.
- Flexible presentation: Steerable wheels allow a more deliberate display angle.
- A defined edition: Production is limited to 2,200 worldwide.
Who This Is For
Choose this CMC Ferrari if your interests center on classic Ferraris, Le Mans, or detailed 1:18 replicas you can explore beyond their exterior. It makes a natural focal point in a cabinet of historic competition cars. Leave space around the body if you plan to display its compartments open.
Bring the #22 Ferrari 250 GTO into your collection and give its Le Mans story a place on your shelf.
