Triumph TR3S Le Mans 1959 #26 by Spark
Alternative version SPK1395 #25 & SPK1397 #27
At first glance the TR3S may look like a lightly modified TR3, but it was a purpose built racer on a longer chassis fitted with a fibreglass body which just looked a bit like the road car. Spark’s very well finished model certainly looks long and sleek and the decoration is carefully placed. The posts for the cut down windscreen are slightly heavy but the interior detail is excellent with very light weathering applied to the tonneau and seat for added realism.

About Spark
The range which changed the 1:43 model market and for which we coined the term 'resincast'. Resin rather than traditional diecast bodies mean that relatively short production runs can be made and what might be marginal subjects become viable. Quality is very consistent with plenty of fine etch used where necessary. A huge range is the result, covering all aspects of (mostly postwar) motorsport and a wide variety of road cars. We typically see around 30 new subjects released per month and pre-orders are strongly recommended. Made in China & Madagascar.
