CD Le Mans 1962 #53 Ghuhaudin/Bertaut by Spark
CD Le Mans 1962 #53
Alternative version SPK4711 #54 & SPK4712 #55
Three near identical CD Panhards took the start at Le Mans in 1962, this being the most successful of the trio taking home trophies for a class win and the all-important Index of Performance. The panel engraving is particularly crisp on this subject, with the doors and bonnet looking as if they might even open (they don’t!). Small fairings behind the wheels have fine rivet detail around the edges and the overall shape looks very good. A simple subject but very well done indeed.

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.
