Alternative version SPK4372 #57 SPK4373 #52 & SPK4374 #53 Alpine’s entry at Le Mans in 1968 saw multiple vehicles in several classes and plenty of success across the board. The crews of these smaller capacity machines were experienced rally men and according to period reports took great pleasure in passing far more powerful machinery in wet conditions on their way to wins in the Index of Thermal Efficiency for Therier & Tramont in the 1300c.c. #52 machine and the Index of Performance for Andruet & Nicolas in the 1000c.c. #55. Bodily the cars were identical but the decoration differed subtly and these changes are all very well replicated.
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.
