Just a detail (I'm over-meticulous...)
The race is the 1956 Mille Miglia, in the penultimate picture there is a blue Fiat 500 (with a red dressed girl standing), near the Eugenio Castellotti's Ferrari 290MM #548 and the parked Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider #425 (Consalvo Sanesi?).
It's impossible, because the first "Fiat Nuova 500" was sold only on July 1957.
(perhaps that girl was Engineer Giacosa's daughter, testing the prototype... )

I especially like the 1930s Le Mans ones....
and yes, car #425 is the Sanesi giulietta lightweight veloce monposto spider...and you are correct about the FIAT 500

They always have a fascinating stand at Retromobile. Their skill takes one's breath away.
Unfortunately, so does their prices...

I'm not sayiing their prices aren't fair, but a diorama like the MM one would be over $10,000, and very few people can afford to spend that for a model...

For a diorama of that size I would have preferred to see them incorporate a lot more cars to show the diversity of the entrants in the Mille.

Click on "creations" at the left. The 1937 Le Mans one with the Bugatti tank is fantastic too!!
