Description
Mercedes were reaching their pinnacle in 1955 and the mighty W196 was the car to beat, helping Fangio to the title the previous year, Stirling Moss joined the team and would famously drive the open wheeled and SLR versions of the car to famous victories.
At Spa for the Belgian F1 Grand Prix, Mercedes provided a spare or ‘T’ car used by all four works drivers on the practice days before a Grand Prix; Fangio, Moss, Kling, Fitch and race engineer Uhlenhaut all lapped the circuit in the T-car, chassis number 10, the short wheelbase open-wheeled version.
Though new research and the personal recollections of Sir Stirling Moss, The Signature Store commissioned a correct replica, featuring the red and yellow ‘T’ as run at the Belgian Grand Prix of 1955 at Spa.
This is very rare opportunity, so be quick to secure this fully authenticated collectors item, produced in collaboration and endorsement of Sir Stirling Moss and this fully authorised 1:18 cased and boxed replica is only available from The Signature Store.
