Silberpfeil Car - Silver
Product Details
Our silver model of the Silberpfeil reflects an important part part of motor racing history
In 1934, the international motor sport governing body specified a maximum weight for Grand Prix racing cars of 750 kg, excluding tyres and fuel. The Germans decided to reduce weight by removing the lead-based paint which denoted its cars’ traditional white livery, exposing distinctive shining aluminium. Victory by one of these lead to the nickname Silver Arrow. Their successors, which were built on the same chassis, continued to race successfully at the Indy 500 after the war.
This model is over 12" long with all the detail that you would expect of a model of this calibre, and an ideal centrepiece for any room.
