1959, 250 TR59, sn 0768TR, Sebring 12h '59 (CMF, limited 100, resin)
This TR59 (chassis 0768) is shown in the form in which it was driven to victory by Phil Hill at Riverside later in 1959 after a dry sump engine had been installed. The TR59s had all blown their wet sump engines at the prior LeMans race, so Ferrari determined to change them. This car also placed second at Sebring and third in the Nurburgring and it also raced in the Targa Florio and at Nassau in 1959. During the early 1960s it was driven in many races in the United States. Overall the Ferrari TR59s scored a remarkable 10 victories between 1958 and 1961 in international sports car races. Today the Testa Rossa name and the pontoon-fendered shape of the early cars are highlights in Ferrari's long history.
