Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR #722 – Stirling Moss / Denis Jenkinson
LEGRAND 1:87 scale plastic model – a miniature with a great history
This exceptionally detailed 1:87 scale model from LEGRAND brings one of the most legendary racing icons directly to the collector’s shelf: the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR with starting number 722, driven by Stirling Moss (GB) and Denis Jenkinson (GB) in what is probably Italy’s most famous endurance race – the 1955 Mille Miglia.
The 50?mm long plastic model impresses with its precise printing of the starting number and Union Jack, the distinctive symbol of the British winning duo. Finely engraved details, a realistic red interior and intricately designed rims give the miniature an impressive authenticity.
The historic model made motorsport history: Stirling Moss and his co-driver completed the 1,600 km route in a record time – and thus secured the legendary victory for Mercedes-Benz. The starting number 722 symbolizes the starting time of 7:22 a.m. in Brescia – a moment that is perfectly captured in this model.
