In 1970, David Piper’s Fiat/Bartoletti Tipo 306/2 transporter was repainted in red for Le Mans, the movie, where it stood in as the Scuderia Ferrari team hauler. This version of the truck appears prominently in the film, though it was also refinished to portray other team transporters during filming, and is often shown in the paddock and pit lane as a backdrop to the Ferrari 512 entries. The Ferrari cars themselves are central to the film’s drama, sharing the spotlight with the Porsche 917s in both on-track battles and behind-the-scenes sequences, making the red Bartoletti a recognizable part of the movie’s Ferrari presence.
This limited edition gift set includes a trio of Ferrari 512 Long Tail race cars as they might have been seen prior to numbers being applied for filming the movie’s iconic race sequences.
