In 1960 The Scuderia Eugenio Castellotti entered two Ferrari-engined Cooper T51. The best result was a 4th place in the Italian GP.
For their first GP, the team failed to qualify, and it was logical, as there were only 16 places on the grid. Driver: Giorgio Scarlatti.
Other results:
ACF GP: Gino Munaron, retired (transmission)
British GP: munaron, 15th
Italian GP: Giulio Cabianca, 4th
Italian GP: Munaron, retired (oil system)
The organisers of the Italian GP, the Milan Automobile Club, elected to use the banked section of the Monza circuit, despite the protests of the British teams who boycotted the race. That turned the event into little more than a Ferrari benefit, with the field bolstered by F2 cars and private entrants.
Ferrari made it a 1-2-3 with Phil Hill, leading Richie Ginther and Willy Mairesse home. Another Ferrari, driven by wolfgang von Trips, made full use of his team-mates slipstreams to shake off the following F2 cars and come home fifth.
Our men, Munaron and Cabianca qualified 4th and 8th, and the ex Scuderia Castellotti driver, Giorgio Scarlatti, now Scuderia Centro Sud, qualified his Maserati-engined Cooper in 5th position. The start of the pairs was disastrous but after 20 laps, they were already 3rd and 4th. Willy Mairesse recovered to the 3rd place after his work with von Trips. Cabianca finished 4th and scored 3 points but Munaron retired. It was the last race of the Cooper-Ferrari on the Castellotti banner.
An other Cooper-Ferrari, driven by Peter Lovely, took the 11th place of the US GP at Watkins Glen, but he was entered by Fred Armbruster. The engine was not the same 4-cylinder.

Cooper-Ferrari
1960 2½-litre Formula 1 hybrids
This entry describes three hybrid Coopers which appears in 1960 fitted with 2½-litre four-cylinder Ferrari engines. Giorgio Scarlatti was largely instrumental in establishing the Italian Scuderia Castellotti, whose title commemorated the young former Italian Champion driver Eugenio Castellotti, who had been killed at the Modena Aerodromo early in 1957 while testing a Formula 1 Lancia-Ferrari D50A.
Castellotti had been a charismatic figure who was much mourned in Italy, and Scarlatti and his friends bought two proprietary Cooper T51 chassis for 1960, serials 'F2-2-60' and 'F2-13-60', into which they installed wide-angle-head Ferrari Tipo 555 Super Squalo 2½-litre four-cylinder engines. Downdraught carburettors were fitted to enable these units to slip down into the British tubular frames, while Colotti trasaxles provided drive. Ferrari certainly smiled upon the project since it provided an opportunity to study contemporary British rear-engined design, but investment in the elderly engines did not extend far beyond casting entirely new cam-covers for them, crackle-finished bright blue with the commemorative legend 'Eugenio' in script on top.
One of these new Cooper-Ferraris was enetered for the 1960 Monaco GP but Scarlatti was unable to qualify, while two entries - for Scarlatti and Gino Munaron - were made for the French GP, but only Munaron arrived, qualifying (just) but failing to start due to mechanical problems. Munaron then made it to the race in the British GP, but could only finish 16th, secen laps down.
Both cars ran in the Silver City Trophy at Brands Hatch, Scarlatti's gearbox failing on the first lap, Munaron finished 13th - second last. None of this was doing much for Castellotti's memory - the 1950-based engine, last seriously updated in 1954-55, was so far off the pace the Italian-run Coopers could never shine. Both cars were run in the Italian GP, driven by Munaron and Giulio cabianca, the latter finishing fourth, twice lapped in the race boycotted by all the British works teams. En route to the Oulton Park Gold Cup race - European swansong for the 2½-litre Formila - the Scuderia Castellotti's transporter crashed, ending the active F1 career of these 'Eugenio'-lettered hybrids.
The last race of the 2½-litre Formula followed at Riverside, California, in the United States GP, and there Pete Lovely drove Fred Armbruster's Cooper 'F2-14-60' fitted with one of the very rare four-cylinder Ferrari 625LM engines originally tailor-made purely for the Le Mans 24 Hours race of 1956. Lovely qualified this car on the penultimate grid row and ran steadily throughout the race to finish 11th.

But... I want to know the real color of Squadra Castellottis cars.... the only clue was... "crackle-finished bright blue with the commemorative legend 'Eugenio' in script on top."

Does this mean that all the models produced of the Cooper Ferraris are wrong?

It sounds like the light blue colour is referring to the cylinder head rather than the car itself, which I would imagine would be some form of red if I had to guess. Unless the model(s) in question go(es) to that level of detail of course...
