 1978 - The car: the Ferrari 312 PB | |
In 1978. Pierre Scerri, young father, decided to give a meaning to his passion: sportcar prototypes.
Driven by a strong wish for creating an unique piece of art, he chose to reproduce the genuine Ferrari 312 PB engine roaring. Frame, gearbox, engine, seats, gauges and so on… will be manufactured at the 1/3 scale and put together so that its Ferrari could be run in its lounge.
Pierre Bardinon, the owner of the famous circuit du Mas du Clos,
was the first to open to Pierre Scerri the doors of his private collection. Pierre took lots of pictures of the 312 PB, the real one, sketched all details, put the finishing to his drawings, cleared up the last doubt on the pictures already examinated… |

| Drawings steps and molds | |
From 1978 to 1981, Pierre draw all the views necessary for building the 1:3 scale : chassis, engine, gearbox, body. The goal remains the same: build a real car, scaled, ready to start.
From 1981 to 1985, the master is achieved, all the wooden parts for creating molds were ready.

| 1989 - The 1:3 scale engine works! | |
From 1986 to 1990, lots of work remaining, but lots of parts accomplished! And more particularly the machining of engine parts: the 4 camshaft, the injection system, the casted components of the body (steering rack, wheel hubs and callipers, …).
Febuary the 25th 1989, the engine is ready for the first run. This is a great date for Pierre and his children, who eared for the first time the flat-12 cylinder sound ! They remain the most stirring moments.
We still have this famous sound in mind even after 16 years.
Caroline and Olivier.

| 1992 - The unique work of art is carried out | |
From 1990 to 1992, Pierre finished little by little his project. The gear box took form with the assistance of Mr Colotti and Mr Piero Ferrari, at Modena, in Italy. The instrument panel was completed, as all the components, of course everything is working. Radiators, headlights, tires and the tubular frame (welded with T.I.G.) were entirely home made by hand.
In December 1992, the car was finished. The eagerness and the work of Pierre are finally crowned by the smallest 312PB Ferrari in the world: one simple turn of key makes it possible to start it!
The car has been entrusted to Gary Kohs, passionned by unique art works, Fine Art Models creator, a famous company of fantastic scaled works!
