Presented at the Paris Motor Show in October 1963, this was the berlinetta version of the 250 P prototype, sharing the same chassis and running gear with just minor modifications. The FIA’s refusal to homologate it as a GT car damaged its sales potential and the decision forced the car to compete with true prototypes, thus decreasing its chances of victory. On the other hand, it did extend the life of the 250 GTO on the racing circuits.
What was so attractive during these years was that race teams and manufacturers were allowed a generous degree of freedom to tune their cars, and to try out different modifications, all in the name of competition. A good example was Ferrari, who ruled the circuits of the world with his beautiful race cars crafted by Pininfarina. Ferrari had shown that if your car looked good, then it probably was a good car, and he had the record books to support this view. Ferrari had the Le Mans 24 Hour race pretty much to himself during the first half of the 1960s, with his GT cars in the form of the 250 SWB, 250 GTO and the 250P/275P. The 250 GTO (front-engined) won races around the world almost at will, but when Ferrari moved the engine to behind the driver, as he did with the 250 LM, and argued that it was a modification of the earlier 250 GTO, the race organisers turned him down flat. Ferrari wanted this compact mid-engined coupe to qualify as a GT car for world championship racing. But the FIA, motor sport’s rule-makers, disagreed and this new model, of which just 32 were made, was forced to run as a sports-prototype in 1964 and 1965. As a result, the new 250 LM had to run in the same class as the bigger-engined Fords. But even here, the 250 LM was in a league of its own, with the ever-reliable 3-litre V12 engine and excellent aerodynamics, thanks to the classic work by the Pininfarina craftsmen. One of the most memorable wins by the 250 LM was in the 1965 Le Mans 24 Hours, when one of these cars won the race outright. The winning car that year was chassis #5893, but the car which is the subject of this book (chassis #6313), and which raced under the banner of the Belgian Ecurie Francorchamps team, did finish second in that same race. Drivers Pierre Dumay and Gustave Gosselin in fact led the race for almost ten hours through Saturday night and Sunday morning until a puncture on the Mulsanne, and the resultant bodywork damage, cost the team five laps on the Sunday morning. In that 1965 race, Ferrari 250 LMs finished first, second and sixth.

In the illustrations there is an original Policar Ferrari LM slot car in scale 1:32 and an original Proslot Policar replica.
