Description
*** Now available – a limited edition Cosworth DFX model engine ***
When the Cosworth DFX engine reached 150 Champ Car victories & 10 Indy 500 victories in 1987 Cosworth commissioned a limited run of model DFX engines to commemorate this incredible achievement. These models were made by Bassett-Lowke, a well-respected model maker based in Northampton, UK. Each model engine was mounted on green felt atop a wooden base with a removable clear Perspex case.
On the wooden base was a metal plaque that was engraved as follows:
“This model was presented by Keith Duckworth Chairman of Cosworth to commemorate 150 wins in U.S. Champ-car racing and 10 consecutive Indianapolis 500 mile race victories (1977-1987) achieved with DFX engines manufactured by Cosworth Engineering Ltd.”.
For added authenticity, Keith Duckworth’s signature was engraved below this text.
These model engines were given to Cosworth members of staff and a few VIPs and as such are incredibly rare and unique items of memorabilia.
We now have one of these distinctive model engines for sale. Every model was assigned a unique number, and this one is DFX413. The model, base and Perspex case are in excellent condition. We can provide provenance for this model engine on request.
