Hot Wheels 1:43 - Model race car (2) - Ferrari F1-90...

Hot Wheels Elite 1:43 - Lot of 2 F1 Scuderia Ferrari - F1-90 (Alain Prost - 100th Victory) & Ferrari 643 (Jean Alesi) - Strictly NEW / MINT IN BOX (Original seal) EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR DISCERNING COLLECTORS: We have the privilege of presenting an exceptional lot bringing together two major Ferrari single-seaters from the early 1990s. From the private collection of a great adult Ferrari enthusiast, these die-casts represent the quintessence of the HOT WHEELS ELITE range. As a reminder, Mattel's Elite division is globally acclaimed for the spectacular finesse of its detailing and the excellence of its materials. Since Mattel lost the exclusive Ferrari license in 2014, these models are no longer marketed and have become true miniature museum pieces, highly speculative and sought after. HISTORICAL AND TECHNICAL DETAILS OF THE INCLUDED MODELS: Ferrari F1-90 (641/2) - Alain Prost - French Grand Prix 1990 (Ref. N5602) • The Die-Cast: Limited edition of 10,000 units worldwide. Surgical fidelity of the suspensions, aerodynamic elements and cockpit. • The Reproduced Engine: Ferrari Tipo 036 / V12 65° 3.5 L engine developing nearly 680 horsepower at 12,700 rpm. • The Real History: This exact model marks a legendary milestone in motorsport: Ferrari’s 100th historical victory in Formula 1, brilliantly clinched at home by the four-time world champion Frenchman Alain Prost at the 1990 French GP at the Paul Ricard Circuit in Le Castellet. Ferrari 643 (F1-91) - Jean Alesi - German Grand Prix 1991 (Ref. T6282) • The Die-Cast: High-fidelity finish faithfully reproducing the car’s aggressive livery with number 28. • The Reproduced Engine: Ferrari Tipo 037 / V12 65° 3.5 L, delivering a screeching, legendary howl at over 710 horsepower. • The Real History: Designed by engineer Steve Nichols to succeed the 642 during the 1991 season, this stunningly sleek single-seater highlights the fiery, passionate driving of French prodigy Jean Alesi, who achieved a superb 3rd place at the demanding Hockenheim circuit in the German GP. ABSOLUTE PRISTINE CONDITION (MINT IN BOX / SEALED IN FACTORY): These models are aimed at the buyer with the utmost attention to quality: • Zero exposure: These pieces have never been exposed to light (no fading of Rosso Corsa red), never exposed to dust, and kept in a strictly non-smoking environment. • Unopened boxes: Each box is sealed from the factory. The factory-sealed stickers are intact and in place, marking the pieces as perfectly pristine and never handled. • Exclusivity: The cars have only left their original cardboard boxes once, exclusively to shoot the photos for this listing. • Impeccable condition: The cardboard boxes, display plinths and protective plexiglass domes are in strictly NEW condition. IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THE PHOTOS: The detailed photos in this listing are the reference for the strictly pristine and impeccable condition of the die-casts and their boxes. Please note that some whitish reflections or light lines visible in the images are solely due to light refraction during studio photography. They are in no way defects, scratches, or alterations of the cardboard or plexiglass. SHIPPING & SECURITY (International Standards): • Ultra-secure packing: As a discerning collector, I know how crucial box integrity is. The die-casts will be individually wrapped in very thick bubble wrap, then carefully cushioned with protective materials inside a rigid double-wall carton to eliminate any risk of movement or crushing during transit. • Premium tracking: Fast shipping via a trusted international carrier with immediate tracking number communication and full real-value insurance included.
