Produced by Tecnomodel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy the spring of 1964 the Ferrari 250 GTO had entered its final competitive season, running updated Series II bodywork shaped by Pininfarina and Scaglietti — a lower roofline, restyled tail — over the proven Colombo V12. The works SEFAC (Società Esercizio Fabbriche Automobili e Corse) squad entered one of these revised cars, numbered 83, at the Nürburgring for the round of the FIA International Championship of Manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"the-gto-64-in-competition\"\u003eThe 250 GTO 64: Final Season of a Racing Icon\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1964 cars are often called the GTO 64 or Series II to distinguish them from the original 1962 cars, though Ferrari never used a separate model designation. Homologated for GT racing under FIA regulations, the GTO competed in the International Championship of Manufacturers against purpose-built rivals. Its V12 engine channelled power through a five-speed gearbox — a configuration that remained competitive through the 1963 and 1964 seasons before Ferrari shifted focus entirely to prototype machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"parkes-guichet-nurburgring-1964\"\u003eParkes, Guichet, and the Nürburgring Result\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1000km Nürburgring on 31 May 1964 brought together two drivers with contrasting profiles. Mike Parkes was a British factory engineer and racing driver embedded in Ferrari's technical programme throughout the 1960s, valued as much for his development feedback as for his lap times. Jean Guichet was a French privateer who made 1964 a defining year with the Prancing Horse. Their SEFAC car number 83 finished 2nd overall, a result that underlines both the car's competitiveness and the strength of the driver pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"tecnomodel-1-12-resin-model\"\u003eTecnomodel's \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:12\u003c\/span\u003e Resin Model\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:12\u003c\/span\u003e scale model reproduces the SEFAC car in rosso corsa with race number 83, built in resin — a material that allows sharper surface definition than diecast and supports the fine panel and livery work characteristic of Tecnomodel's output.
