I had one of these in my Christmas stocking when I was nine and it remained a favourite toy for the rest of my childhood despite the engine cover breaking off - I still have it somewhere. It's not actually that good a replica of the real thing though - the lights are wrong and the balance & shape of the vehicle do not really work. Look up some photos on Google and see what I mean, but be honest, how many Ferraris de we see every day? The real car pictures are from the Classic Car show at the NEC 2006, not strictly the same car, but near enough.

As a Corgi toy it works very well though and I've always had a soft spot for it.
