Citroen C-Elysee 1st WTCC 2015 #9 Loeb by Spark
Citroen C-Elysee WTCC Argentina 2015 Loeb
Alternative version SPK4522 Bennani SPK4523 Ma SPK4524 Lopez & SPK4525 Muller
Citroen dominated the WTCC in 2014 and continued where they left off in the first round of 2015 in Argentina, with Lopez winning race one and Loeb taking the spoils in race two. The two cars are extremely similar, as we’d expect from team mates, with the most obvious visual difference apart from numbers being the driver’s initials on the roof, but there are more subtle changes too such as mirror colour. These are all neatly observed and the strap type towing loops front and rear are particularly delicate touches. Spark should give the decal artist a years paid holiday and the production team a huge pat on the back. Yes, we like this one!

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.
