About the Ferrari 500 F2 #1 A. Ascari F1 Double World Champion 1952-1953 CMC 1:18

TL;DR: CMC's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 500 F2 reproduces Alberto Ascari's #1 car, winner of the 1952 and 1953 World Championships, with opening bonnet panels. This used model comes with a box showing traces of storage, giving a genuine double title-winning Ferrari to an early Formula 1 display.

Very few cars in Formula 1 history secured back-to-back titles outright, and the 500 F2's dominance through 1952 and 1953 puts it in genuinely rare company.

CMC's Multi-Part Diecast on an Early F1 Single-Seater

Built from a substantial count of separately fitted metal parts, this casting exposes the 500 F2's narrow, cigar-shaped chassis and exposed four-cylinder engine with the kind of clarity a simplified single-piece body could not manage. The bonnet panels open, revealing the engine layout in detail, and the wire wheels and cycle-style fenders are picked out with fine, individually cast components rather than moulded approximations. Ferrari's period racing red is reproduced with the depth appropriate to a genuine works entry, and race number one sits crisply against the bodywork.

A Genuinely Dominant Championship Season

Alberto Ascari won both the 1952 and 1953 Formula 1 World Championships driving the Ferrari 500, a car that proved so dominant during the two-litre Formula 2 regulations period that Ferrari barely needed to change its approach between seasons. Ascari's back-to-back titles made him the first driver to achieve consecutive championships, a genuine milestone in the sport's early history rather than a footnote. That level of documented, uncontested success is exactly what separates a car like this from a merely period-correct racing livery, this chassis type actually won the titles it is celebrated for.

A Used Title-Winning Ferrari for a Vintage F1 Shelf

This copy has been previously owned, and its box shows traces of storage rather than any issue with the model itself. Given the opening bonnet panels, checking they settle cleanly before display is sensible. Placed at the head of an early Formula 1 collection, this 500 F2 represents one of the sport's genuinely dominant eras, and its exposed mechanical detail rewards a collector who wants to study 1950s single-seater engineering up close.
