#387 EFSI/BESTBOX – B.R.M. FORMULE 1, HONDA FORMULE 1, BRABHAM FORMULE 1 and FERRARI FORMULE 1 (Nr. 201, 202 and 204 / 2517) (1980 / Around 1975)


I cannot add much to what I said about Efsi in the two previous entries #175 and #230.

These two formula ones are two of the oldest references by Efsi. I have read they might have already been available under the Best Box brand, but I am not sure of it.


There were at least 6 different models of these, some of which included very fragile plastic spoilers. These are the reference numbers.
  • 201 - B.R.M. FORMULE 1
  • 202 - HONDA FORMULE 1
  • 203 – FERRARI FORMULE 1
  • 204 – BRABHAM FORMULE 1
  • 205 – MC LAREN FORMULE 1
  • 206 – LOTUS FORMULE 1


These two are the first in the list above: referents 201 and 202.


UPDATE1 (Dec/2018): Ferrari F1 (this time the original Bestbox Version)



UPDATE 2 (Dec/2020): Brabham Formule 1 (No. 204)
