About the Mercedes 2-Liter #10 C. Werner Targa Florio 1924 CMC 1:18

TL;DR: CMC's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 2-Liter reproduces #10, driven by Christian Werner to victory at the 1924 Targa Florio. This is a used model with mechanical detail exposed by design; the box shows storage marks, the casting itself is unaffected. A genuine piece of early Grand Prix racing history.

The Targa Florio predates almost every motorsport event still run today, and this Mercedes carries a winner's history from an era when road racing on public mountain roads was still the norm.

CMC's Exposed-Chassis Construction

Pre-war racing cars had little bodywork to speak of, and CMC's construction method leans into that reality rather than working around it. Individually formed metal components make up the chassis, engine, and exposed mechanical assemblies, giving the model a level of structural detail a single molded shell could never replicate. The weight in the hand reflects genuine metal content throughout, and where later CMC models use opening doors and hoods to reveal detail, this car's minimal bodywork already puts most of its engineering on display without any panel needing to move.

Christian Werner and the 1924 Targa Florio

The Targa Florio, run on Sicily's demanding mountain roads since 1906, was already one of the world's most established endurance events by 1924, and Mercedes' factory team took the win that year with Christian Werner at the wheel of this 2-Liter racer. Victory on a course that punished cars and drivers over hundreds of miles of public road gave the result genuine prestige, distinct from the closed-circuit Grand Prix racing that would come to dominate the sport in later decades.

Condition and Collecting Value

This is a used model, its box carrying storage marks while the casting itself remains sound, a fair condition for a CMC build at this level of historical specificity. For a collector assembling a pre-war motorsport shelf, this Targa Florio winner adds genuine road-racing history distinct from the closed-course Grand Prix cars that typically dominate such displays.
