Ferrari 250 LM Model Art Frame, Ron Fry

Chassis 6105 is the 250 LM that went on a show stand before it went racing. Ferrari displayed it at the Earls Court Motor Show in London in 1964, and within days it was sold to Ron Fry, a gentleman driver from Bristol, who registered it RON 54 and took it to British hillclimbs and sprints at Longleat, Wiscombe Park and Castle Combe through 1964 and 1965. CMC modelled the car as it survives today, plain red and right-hand drive, and for its Model Art collection, begun for the company's 30th anniversary in 2025, it took that model apart and laid the pieces out on the construction drawing.

In a walnut frame under acrylic glass, the red body sections share the drawing with everything they normally hide. The V12 is broken down into its block, heads and covers; the chrome wire wheels sit beside their tyres; there are wishbones and coil springs, blue textile seat cushions, black inner panels, the exhaust pipes and the tubular frame with its steering wheel in place. The RON 54 plate shows on the tail. A brushed plate with the CMC Exclusive Modelle logo names the car and the edition, beside a small CMC 30 years badge. The frame measures 650 by 650 mm and is one of 500. Every part comes from CMC's 1:18 model of the car.
