This is the 1:18 scale model of the 1992 Ferrari California S/N 9843. The model is made by BBR and there are 100 units available worldwide.
Ferrari ’ s 365 California was, in so many ways, the culmination of Ferrari ’ s historically productive collaboration between sports car racing and customer road cars. Only 14 examples of the 365 California were built. They are almost invisible among the (relatively) boxcar loads of 275 GTBs and 365 GTB/4 Daytonas that Ferrari, along with Pininfarina and Scaglietti turned out about the same time.
The seventh of the 14 cars built, s/n 9849 was originally delivered via Luigi Chinetti ’ s agency in New York to William Bickel. Subsequently, it was owned by a series of enthusiasts who made various minor modifications according to their tastes and restoration or repair budgets.
It was restored for its immediate prior owner in 1993 by noted specialist Michael Regalia in its current rich black livery with lovely luggage tan leather interior. At the time, the earlier “ enhancements ” were fully reversed, and s/n 9843 was returned to its original configuration.
It has been shown several times including the 1993 Pebble Beach Concours d ’ Elegance. Many other awards followed, including a Platinum award at the 2000 Cavallino Classic. Still in pristine, nearly concours condition, Ferrari 365 California s/n 9849 stands today as an exceptional example of one of the rarest coachbuilt Ferraris.
