Ferrari’s 250 GT SWB (short wheelbase) really dominated GT racing in the early ‘60’s. This little bulldog of a car won its class, or won races outright at tracks in Europe, North America and the UK, with pilots like Graham Hill, Mike Parkes, Stirling Moss, Fernand Tavano, Pierre Dumay, Pierre Noblet and Jean Guichet, it established enviable racing credentials.

The SWB was introduced at the 1959 Paris Auto Show and was descendant from the 250 GT Tour de France and the two, purpose-built 250 GT Interims that were built specifically to contest Le Mans in June of 1959. With bodywork designed by Pinin Farina and constructed by Scaglietti, the car was made in two configurations: A “Lusso” (luxury) designed for the street and a “Competizione” for racing. Whereas the steel-bodied Lusso was built with many creature comforts and a mildly tuned engine and suspension, the Competizione was a racing thoroughbred utilizing a lightweight aluminum body with a Spartan interior and an engine and chassis set up for racing.

For 1961 the Ferrari factory went one step further, and built 21 special Competiziones meant specifically to contest and win the World Constructor’s Championship for Ferrari. These cars were designated “Comp/61’s” and were nicknamed the “SEFAC Hot Rods”. They were a further improvement over the standard Competizione in that they had even lighter weight chassis and bodies and more powerfully tuned engines.

I really like my Ferraris red, so I was surprised at how much this silver beauty grabbed me. A lot of it, of course, was provenance, but CMC has really done a nice job of bringing us all of the detail that this car should have. CMC puts detail where we can see it and unlike most other manufacturers, even where we can’t. CMC’s silver #14 1961LeMans GT class-winner is chassis number 2689 GT and was one of the “SEFAC Hot Rods”. Driven in the 1961 24 Heurs du LeMans by Belgian owner Pierre Noblet and Frenchman Jean Guichet, the #14 finished 317 laps, won the GT Class and finished 3rd overall.
