Conti Models, scale models with a touch of magic

At 15,000 euro and with clients such as Gianni Agnelli, Bill Gates, Jamiroquai and Nick Mason, you’d think they were real cars.
But these tiny models at a scale of 1:10 are hand-made pieces of art from Conti.

While the price is out of reach for most of us, each model requires three months work and are among the few examples of reproductions at such small dimensions.

The body is made from copper and brass and the upholstery is of real leather, with original Ferrari colours completing the package.

Unfortunately though, as Italian cars are sought after the world over, you have to go all the way to the Museum of Modern Art in New York to admire a Conti model.
