This is the Cooper F1 T51 #16 1960 Monaco GP Chris Bistrow in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.

The Cooper F1 T51, marked with number 16, was driven by Chris Bristow at the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix. Chris Bristow, a promising young British driver, faced the demanding and prestigious Monaco circuit, renowned for its narrow streets, tight corners, and unforgiving barriers. The 1960 race was particularly notable for its challenging conditions, which required exceptional skill and concentration from the drivers. Bristow's participation in the Monaco Grand Prix, one of the most glamorous and difficult races on the Formula One calendar, highlighted both his emerging talent and the competitive edge of the rear-engine Cooper T51. This race was a testament to the evolving technology and driving techniques that were beginning to dominate the sport during that era.

This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
