EXCEPTIONAL RARITY – EXHIBIT N° 54 / 75
Attention to investors and Ferrari enthusiasts. This Auto Barn signed edition benefits from an extremely confidential worldwide print run. The original label affixed to the case seals its authenticity: it is number 54 out of only 75 produced worldwide in this specific racing configuration (reference AB 205-S). An absolutely rare model, practically unavailable on the international market.

CONDITION: ABSOLUTELY BRAND NEW IN STOCK:
This prestige miniature comes directly from the private collection of a meticulous adult Ferrari enthusiast. Its condition is strictly impeccable:
• The car has never been exposed to light (no discoloration), dust, or any handling.
• Kept in an optimal environment: strictly non-smoking atmosphere, no humidity or temperature fluctuations.
• The model has left its box only for the very first time solely to shoot photos for this listing.
• Outer black box, display stand and plexiglass dome: LIKE NEW, free of any micro-scratches. A true Mint in Box standard.

EXCELLENCE OF THE AUTO BARN BRAND & MATERIAL QUALITY:
Auto Barn embodies the pinnacle of artisanal model-making in a very limited series distributed directly by the niche manufacturer. Designed with premium materials, the resin body offers edges of a sharpness impossible to achieve with injected zamak. The fit of photodecorated metal parts (windshield wipers, aerofoil elements, cooling grilles) meets the expectations of the most exacting collectors.

DETAILS AND MODEL HISTORY: THE REAL LEGEND IN 1/43:
• The real car (2002): Initially developed by Prodrive under the leadership of Frédéric Dor, the Ferrari 550 GTS Maranello marked the victorious return of the V12 from Maranello to GT competition. This circuit monster housed a naturally aspirated V12 tuned to nearly 600 horsepower, a 6-speed Xtrac sequential gearbox, and an expanded carbon fiber body.
• The race: This exact model faithfully reproduces the car entered by the French team IGOL - Force One Racing at the mythical Silverstone round for FIA GT Series in 2002, entrusted to a legendary tri-color crew: the ex-Formula 1 driver Philippe Alliot and the artist-driver David Hallyday.
• The miniature: Benefiting from the Official Ferrari License, every sponsor, from IGOL pad printing to fine aerodynamic details, strictly respects the race configuration of that weekend in May 2002.

TECHNICAL NOTE REGARDING THE PHOTOS:
The macro close-up shots attest to the flawless condition of the lot. Please note that some whitish reflections or bright lines visible in the images are solely due to light refraction on the plexiglass dome or the varnished paint during photography. They are in no way defects, scratches, or alterations of the resin.
