Bburago's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 250 LM comes in plain silver rather than a numbered race livery, showing the mid-engined V12 shape that won the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans outright. Diecast construction with opening doors and bonnet keeps the price accessible. A clean-shape alternative to the range's numbered competition versions.
TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 250 LM comes in plain silver rather than a numbered race livery, showing the mid-engined V12 shape that won the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans outright. Diecast construction with opening doors and bonnet keeps the price accessible. A clean-shape alternative to the numbered competition versions.
Before it became a name tied to an outright Le Mans win, the 250 LM was simply Ferrari's answer to a homologation dispute, a mid-engined V12 shape this silver Bburago casting shows without any race number to distract from it.
A Plain Livery That Highlights the Shape
Without a race number or sponsor graphics to apply, this casting puts all the attention on the 250 LM's shape itself, and Bburago's tooling captures the car's genuinely unusual proportions: a mid-mounted V12 pushed the cabin forward and gave the tail a long, sloping fastback profile unlike anything in Ferrari's front-engined GT range at the time. The silver finish shows off that bodywork cleanly, with the paint holding an even, correctly metallic tone across the car's curved rear deck. Construction follows the same formula as Bburago's other 250 LM castings: zinc-alloy body, opening doors and bonnet, and the panel gaps typical of the manufacturer's accessible price point.
The 250 LM's Unusual Path to Racing
Ferrari built the 250 LM hoping to homologate it as a GT car, but the FIA rejected that classification because Ferrari never built the number of examples the rules required, forcing the car to race as a prototype instead. That technicality did nothing to slow it down: a 250 LM won the 24 Hours of Le Mans outright in 1965, a result that stood as Ferrari's last outright victory at the race for decades. A handful of the 32 cars built also found their way into private ownership beyond competition, driven on the road by owners who wanted the shape without the racing programme, which is exactly the character this unlivered silver casting represents.
A Shape Standing on Its Own
This silver 250 LM works well beside numbered race versions on the same shelf, showing the shape on its own terms before any specific livery gets added to the story.
