I am pretty sure that the Ferraris are 456 and not 465. Also there should be no “Venice” in front of the shooting brake. The Venice was a two door convertible.
I am definitely going to get the shooting brake. I also hope that this is a sign that finally there are going to be models of the Ferraris from the Brunei collection. He had six 456 Venice, six 456 sedans and six 456 Shooting Brakes made for him, all in different colors. Ferrari denied the existence of the cars for years. If anyone is in California or would be visiting there, it is worth checking out the Marconi museum, where there is one of the shooting brakes and another special Brunei Ferrari – the 512tr based FX. I hope Matrix makes that one too in the future. I can think of a dozen special Ferraris from the sultan of Brunei’s collection that Matrix can produce.
I believe the only Ferrari from the Sultan of Brunei’s collection produced in 1:18 scale so far is the grey RHD F40 by BBR. This of course is not counting some of the crude resin kits that have been produced years ago, that were based on modified Bburago castings and highly inaccurate.
