1:43 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Bertone
 

This is a 1:43 model of the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Bertone (serial number 3269GT). My dad built this kit (don't know who made the kit) of this unique Ferrari. It's a one-off by Bertone and Nuccio Bertone himself owned and drove the car for about a year.
The unfinished body next to it is the body of the kit (AMR) of the other one-off 250 GT Bertone designed (serial number 1739GT).

Both cars are at Tillack at the moment. That's the place where novass works. He took this picture of the actual cars.

Great quality :D and nice to have the real things picture too :D

It looks quite different to the normal 250 GT (Pininfarina isn't it). I think the regular one is much better looking...

There isn't really a 'regular' 250. There are so many versions, not only designed by Pininfarina, but also by Zagato and Scaglietti.

#3269GT was a 250 GT Short Wheelbase, fitted with special Bertone-styled bodywork. One can have different opinions whether the Pininfarina design or the Bertone is better looking of course. I find it hard to decide. I love them both.

True about everyone having their own tastes. My only issue with this car is that it looks a lot like a Lancia and less like a SWB.

Very nice kits. Both the quality of work on the finished car, and the quality of the unfinished kit body.

that's the most desirable Ferrari both in scalemodel & actual car
currently it belongs to a mexican collector (Zambrano)
I'd do anything to get that model.

Thanks for your comments, I'll be sure to pass them on. I didn't know the car is owned by Zambrano. Is he also the owner of the other Bertone (1739GT)?
It would probably be hard to find one of the kits. I don't know how old it is. Then if you find one, you'd have to build it or find someone who can build it for you. But, you never know. Keep your eyes open. :wink:
