The Ferrari 500 was a Formula 2 car designed by Aurelio Lampredi.For 1952, the FIA announced that Grand Prix races counting towards the World Championship of Drivers would be run to Formula 2 specification rather than to Formula 1, after the withdrawal of Alfa Romeo from the sport. Ferrari were the only team to have a car specifically designed for the new formula. The car was powered by an inline four-cylinder engine which was mounted behind the front axle, improving weight distribution.This rare Ferrari was built by Tonka and it is now hard to believe it was intended as a toy. With its immaculate Ferrari red paint it's been sitting with pride of place on display hence a small bit of dust. No real signs of play wear apart from wheels and around some chrome work.
