Starline Models started producing inexpensive, but well detailed 1/43rd scale diecast model cars in 2005. The company was founded by Roland Ender, a former director of Solido Germany, is based in Germany and the models are made in China, but the range almost solely consists of Italian popular, luxury and sports cars from the 1930s to the 1980s.
Most of these models were originally sold in partworks available at Italian newsagents. Several more expensive and more sophisticated 1/43rd scale resin models were introduced under the Lux B name in 2008 and 2009. In addition to the 1/43rd scale car models, Starline Models has also introduced a range of Italian motorcycles in 1/24th scale as well as Austrian buses and trucks by Steyr, Saurer, ÖAF and Gräf & Stift in 1/87th scale made for the Vienna-based company Austrian Car Collection.

Model by Starline, who also issued it themselves in a full display box with perspex cover and cardboard outer case.
The car, piloted by driver Aldo Marazza with co-driver C. Benedetti finished the race in overall 34th position (out of 37 finishers), it raced in the class called 1.1c (1,1 litre compressor) and finished 3rd in that class (out of 3). The class got heavily decimated as no less than 5 similar 508s retired from the race. The only 2 finishers beside this #45 were the class winner (a Maserati 4CS 1100) and another 508 (#49) finishing in 24th position overall.
The official name of the car, as listed in motorsport annals, is "Fiat 508CS MM Berlinetta compr."
