About the Ferrari 250 LM Red White Essen Autographs Limited Edition Bburago 1:18

TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 250 LM, finished red and white as an Essen Autographs limited edition, reproduces the mid-engined prototype that won the 1965 Le Mans 24 Hours outright, Ferrari's last overall Le Mans win for nearly six decades. A rare Bburago subject built on genuine competition significance.

Ferrari's 250 LM did something no other Ferrari managed for the next 58 years: it won the Le Mans 24 Hours outright, in 1965, entered for the NART team rather than the factory itself.

Bburago's Take on a Le Mans Prototype

Bburago's diecast rendition captures the 250 LM's low, mid-engined profile, a shape defined by the engine sitting behind the driver, unusual for a road-legal Ferrari design of the era. The red and white livery, applied here as part of an Essen Autographs limited-edition run, keeps the two-tone split clean along the beltline rather than blurring where the colours meet, a small but telling sign of careful tooling. Panel lines around the rear engine cover and the distinctive Kamm-tail rear end hold up well at this price point, and the wire-style wheels sit properly within the arches. Editions tied to shows like Essen typically carry a numbered certificate alongside the model, a nod to the collector-fair culture that has long supported limited diecast runs across Europe.

The 250 LM's Unlikely Le Mans Win

The 250 LM's story is stranger than its result suggests. Ferrari built the car hoping to homologate it as a GT racer, but the FIA refused because too few examples existed to meet the production quota, so the 250 LM was forced to compete as a prototype against purpose-built racers with far less road-car compromise. Against that disadvantage, the NART-entered car driven by Jochen Rindt and Masten Gregory still won the 1965 Le Mans 24 Hours outright, a result that stood as Ferrari's last overall Le Mans victory for 58 years, until the Ferrari 499P repeated it in 2023.

Where This Piece Fits an Endurance Racing Collection

Displayed among 1960s endurance racers, the 250 LM anchors the era before wings and aerodynamics dominated prototype racing. Its livery pairs naturally with period Ferrari, Ford GT40 and Porsche 906 replicas from the same Le Mans years, and the Essen link adds a bit of collector-fair provenance plain catalogue releases lack.
