WATSON Indy / OSTORERO

Watson Simoniz 1959 / Watson Bryant 1961

Two new Indy Roadsters arrive from the hand of the Italian manufacturer Ostorero. For eight years, A.J.Watson built 23 Indy Roadsters, two of which are now reproduced by Ostorero at 1:32 scale for slot.

The Watson Simoniz SPL of 1959, with #16 was the fifth Watson built and ran five consecutive years in Indianapolis. The version reproduced corresponds to a replica of his current status, owned by Larry D. Pfitzenmaier, which is how Jim Rathman entered the Indianapolis race in 1959 where he finished second.

The second Watson reproduced is chassis #8, a car that in 1961 was sponsored by Bryant Heating and Cooling Special and was piloted by Len Sutton. This model was recently restored and auctioned by Sotheby's, reaching € 600,000.

These two new models will be on sale in the coming days.
