McLaren F1GTR Le Mans 1996 Muller
The orange and black McLaren of Deletraz, Sala and Giroix was initially a reserve entry for Le Mans but was included thanks to the win of the Japanese Ueno Clinic entry the year before. Ironically it didn’t carry that team’s sponsorship unlike most of the other F1GTRs in the 1996 race. At first we thought there was an error with the decals on the nose as the Franck Muller is in white with a black outline, rather than the other way around as seen at the start of the race. Looking through race photos, when the night-time nose with bulged headlight covers was fitted, the sponsorship changed slightly and the model is correct for later in the race.

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.
