1:18, Diecast Legends, £239.99

Perfectly timed to mark the 60th anniversary of Mike Hawthorn’s Formula One World Championship – the first for a British racing driver – comes this superb Ferrari 246 from Diecast Legends. The team at the well-known British model retailer has decided to plug some significant 1:18 Grand Prix car gaps with its own range, beginning with the Farnham Flyer’s Maranello single-seater that clinched the championship with a second place behind the Vanwall of Stirling Moss at the Moroccan Grand Prix. This is the first time this particular car has been modelled in 1:18, produced in Italy exclusively for Diecast Legends as a solid-resin body casting with Hawthorn’s distinctive anti-glare black bonnet bulge and race number 6. The evocative miniature is limited to just 500 examples and is selling fast.
