"If This Was A Beauty Contest...
…we just lost”, reputed to have been said by Carol Shelby on seeing the beautiful Ferrari 330 P3 cars.
1/18th scale models of cars driven in the 1966 Le Mans 24 Hour race. On the left is a Shelby Collectibles Ford GT40 Mark II as driven by Ken Miles and Denny Hulme (in weathered finish), and on the right is a Werk83 Ferrari 330 P3 as driven by Lorenzo Bandini and Jean Guichet. Ken Miles, who was driving the Ford for the final leg was ordered to slow down so that all three Ford GT40s could be photographed crossing the finishing line. In doing so, Chris Amon and Bruce McLaren were declared winners as they had travelled a slightly greater distance having started further back on the grid from the #1 car. The Ferrari did not finish the race due to mechanical issues.
