Dear sirs,
After numerous efforts, inconvenience, adversities and all
sorts of problems, today we've finally made a dream, born as
manufacturers (although modest and artisans), under the
brand Modelant with a model of much historical importance to
be considered as the first Ferrari in the history,
reproduced only ready to run at 1/32 scale in high quality
resin, and that we show with all our illusion.
In 1940 Enzo Ferrari, after leaving Alfa Romeo, created in
just five months a small spider in his old workshop in
Modena, commissioned by Lothario Rangoni Marquis and the
driver Antonio Ascari’s son, Alberto, under the name Auto
Avio Costruzioni due to the terms of its still existing
contract with Alfa Romeo that made Enzo impossible to use
his name on his own. Considering this, the Auto Avio is
considered by all historians as the first Ferrari ever
built.
We recommend complete reading of the interesting history of
this car: www.modelant.com
The car piloted by Alberto Ascari in the 1940 Mille Miglia
is the one we reproduced in Modelant, in which we applied
our philosophy to create a slot car purely handmade.
Designed from photographs and drawings, modeled strictly
1/32 scale from a block of putty using only hand tools,
escaping from computer assists or industrial machinery, and
manufactured in a traditional way, one by one, by hand.
Our replica wished to be accurate to the original model
created by Enzo Ferrari in 1940, which is why sometimes you
can find some differences with photographs of current
restoration, such as the inclusion of a rearview mirror,
front intermittent and rear lights or front and rear license
plate needed to comply with current driving rules, as well
as the logo '815', originally nonexistent.
For mechanics, we have chosen MRRC, that chassis gives it a
noble performance on the tracks even being a product of
nature collector and be served in a transparent box with an
elegant look.
Production is limited to 300 numbered units and is already
available.
You all know that a handmade product of this type is
expensive due precisely to its manual character and
laborious and slow development and manufacturing processes,
however in Modelant have worked to get a final price that is
below the average of other products of similar
characteristics. In our website you will find the final
price of the Auto Avio and the instructions to buy it:

Hoping that you like it, king regards.
