10D12HJ TARGA FLORIO BUILDINGS H,J LORENZO BANDINI/BAGHETTI BUILDING SET
***Includes 2 historic buildings that are inseparable!
On 6 May 1906 the first edition of the Targa Florio got under way. It is still considered by many to be the first real car race and an all-time great classic. It took place next to the sea and on the narrow winding roads of the Sicilian mountains in Italy and it passed through a couple of towns, including Colessano. In time the buildings at the hairpin corner in Colessano would become a world renown landmark. The names of local racing heroes were painted on many buildings in the town and specifically at the hairpin. The Race Track Scenics collection of Targa Florio buildings strive to recreate the ambiance of the trackside of the famous race track with some buildings very close to replicas and certainly all in the style of Collessano’s architecture during the 60s and 70s of the previous century. RTS have decided to name the different buildings in honour of Italian Targa Florio racers that excelled over the years in the TF race. Lorenzo Bandini and Nino Vaccarella in their Ferrari 275 P2 was the winner of the TF race in 1965. The second house on the right after the hairpin was branded in honour of Vaccarella and Bandini, as can be seen below, and we named this house in honour of Bandini.
