Gambia year 2007 Ferrari – Sports Cars – F1 stamps set MNH
In 2007, Gambia issued a high-speed commemorative series to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Ferrari. This set is highly sought after by “Topical” collectors who specialize in automobiles and Formula 1 history.
The 2007 Ferrari Stamp Set Details
The release is generally divided into two main components: a sheetlet of multiple stamps and a standalone souvenir sheet.
- Format: * Sheetlet of 8 stamps: Each stamp features a different legendary Ferrari model.
- Souvenir Sheet (S/S): Usually features a single high-value stamp with a larger background illustration (often an F1 car like the Ferrari F2007).
- Catalog Numbers: * Yvert & Tellier: #4647–4654 (Sheetlet).
- Scott: Often listed in the #3065–3077 range for 2007 Gambia commemoratives.
- Themes Included:
- Classic Sports Cars: Models like the 1965 275 P2.
- Formula 1: Celebrating Ferrari’s dominance in racing, including the F2007 car driven by Kimi Räikkönen (who won the World Championship that year).
Estimated Market Value (2026)
The 2007 set is still relatively affordable, though it is one of the more popular African “thematic” issues because of the global Ferrari brand.
| Item | Condition | Estimated Value (USD) |
| Complete Set (8v Sheetlet) | Mint Never Hinged (MNH) | $6.00 – $10.00 |
| Souvenir Sheet (S/S) | Mint Never Hinged (MNH) | $4.00 – $7.00 |

Why Collectors Love This Set
- Technical Accuracy: The stamps are known for having high-quality illustrations that accurately depict the aerodynamic curves of the cars.
- 60th Anniversary: Being a milestone year (1947–2007) makes this specific year’s issue more collectible than standard annual car releases.
- F1 Peak: 2007 was a historic year for Ferrari in Formula 1, marking their last Drivers’ Championship win (with Kimi Räikkönen), which adds “cross-over” value for sports memorabilia collectors.
