Second Christmas model: Redline Ferrati 312 PB Daytona winner
Gearheads also had a drastic reduction on Redlines - from a normal retail of around $100 to a reduced $65, so I could not pass up this replica of the Mario Andretti - Jacky Ickx Ferrari 312 PB which won the Daytona race in 1972. (The race was reduced to 6 hours in deference to the first oil embargo). Those of you who subscribe to Car Room magazine may have read Marshall Buck's review of this one. Nice model, and equivalent to other Spark and Bizarre models distributed by Minimax, so I guess the price differential is due to Ferrari licensing fees.
Sorry for the fuzzy side view.

Lovely car, but, I think I'll stick to Le Mans entries
I spend too much on those anyway! I've only got the one Redline model - the 365 GTB/4 #39 from LM 1972. To my eyes, the Redline is that little bit better quality, in terms of detailing, than my Spark & Bizarre models - as it should be with the normal price differential.
