CMC 1/18 CMC Ferrari 275 GTB/C, Chassis 09057 No.55 1966 Spa Classic 2012 & 2013 Vincent Gaye

Chassis 09057 was ordered by Luigi Chinetti for use with his North American Racing Team (N.A.R.T.) program. It was delivered to Bob Hut - chins on September 18, 1966, who sold the car later to Harley Cluxton via Chinetti. By the end of the 1960s, the vehicle had changed hands some 8 times. Dr. John P. Giordano of Cold - Spring Harbor, NY acquired the car in July 1980. Back then, the asking price was between $20,000 and $40,000, whereas in 1988, the car was up for sale for 1.5 million dollars. Under the ownership of Giordano, 09057 was raced extensively in historic events. Towards the end of 1999 it was resold and made its way to Germany. In February 2010, the car came into possession by Vincent Gaye, a Belgi - an historic racer, who had it carefully reworked and prepared for historic motorsport events. Finished in a light blue metallic livery, 09057 is one of the fastest 275 GTB/Cs today. With start number #55, Gaye competed in the Spa Clas - sic 2012 and 2013, finishing first in the 2013 Trofeo Nastro Rosso races 1 and 2 respectively
