Driven by very quick drivers: Villoresi, Fagioli, Cabianca, Bonetto, Portago, Moss… the MT4 was the master of its category in the most important races of the era: Mille Miglia, Targa Florio, Panamericana, Le Mans o Sebring.
The car reproduced by Slot Classic this time belongs to the chasis # 1142, whom first owner was Giulio Cabianca. Alfonso de Portago, second owner of the car, changed the inicial red colour for his favourite black with the spanish flag as a central stripe.

Since his results with the small sporting car weren't as successful as he expected, in the Panamericana Race from 1954 he was inscribed with a Ferrari 750 Monza, lending or giving (depending on the version of the story), the small sporting car to his argentinian friend Ernesto Mieres, that is the wonderful version of the car we are reproducing.

Second version of our beloved Jaguar MK II, and this time we bring you a true road racing competition car.

When on the 7th September, 1957, the seller of the Jaguar concessionaire delivered the first MK to Bernard Consten, nobody could imagine it would be the beginning of a long and successful sporting marriage.

The same year he raced in Tour Auto, with a slight car tuning. Therefore he fell through a embankment being forced to retire from the prestigious race.

It isn't any secret that Alfonso Cabeza de Vaca y Leighton, Marquis de Portago, is one of my favourite spanish pilots, possibly because of his intense and short sporting life. He had youth and courage against the experience and ability of his competitors in the hard mission of getting a place in the legendary Ferrari company.

Finally he managed to get it, though very briefly, since as we all know, he died in the next year's Mille Miglia after his participation and victory in the Tour Auto from 1956, which is the model we reproduce this time.

The inscription was impressive, with brands like Mercedes, Porsche, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo and Ferrari, and such great pilots like Moss, Schell, Trintignant, Frere, Gendebien, Behra, Mollet and Portago.

The Tour Auto was a combination of slopes, circuits and long intersection parts, where the navigation required a good copilot. Like many other times, that place would be taken by his good friend Edgar Nelson.

The race, really hard, was a fight between the Mercedes, the Ferrari of Portago and the Porsche 356 of Behra. After endless problems, windshield breaks, spins and a crash in the racetrack with the impulsive Trintignant, Portago finally wins and achieves what would become his greatest victory as car driver and the first Spaniard to win the Tour of France Auto.

Here is this new Slot Classic reference as a tribute to one of the most charismatic Spanish pilots ever.

The model we are introducing is a reproduction of the car driven by Celso Fernandez in the XIII Race Climb to the Rabassada, that took place on the 17 th May, 1953. One of the most surprising facts is the car started the race with two different staring numbers, something that deserved a little explanation. At first, the race was going to take place on the 3 rd of May, having being assigned to Celso del starting number 126. However this event was cancelled by the organization due to a heavy downpour over Barcelona the morning of the race. Delayed until the 17 th , a new inscription was opened, that brought competitors, finally being assigned the starting number 84 to Celso Fernández, which the one used for the race. Featuring a 2.500 cubic centimetres engine and using a Roots compressor, elements coming from a “Bisiluro” tested by Celso Fernández the previous week in Montlhery, the “Crab” was finally classified in the sixth position, achieving the second position on the sports cars, behind Joaquín Palacio, who driving a Pegaso Spyder SE R, would get the first absolute victory for the ENASA factory.

Used for numerous tests and articles appearing on the specialized press between 1952 and 1953, “The Crab” was destroyed in an accident and later fire, in December 1953, being, in Celso Fernández's opinion, usual driver and tester of the brand, “the best of the Pegaso Z-102 ever made”.
