Aston Martin Vantage Le Mans 2016 #97 by Spark
Alternative version SPK5136 #95
The arrival of the Ford GT moved the goalposts in the GTE Pro class at Le Mans and the new Ferrari 488 wasn’t far behind on raw pace and so the factory Aston Martins had to settle for being ‘best of the rest’ at the end, a couple of laps behind after solid runs. The liveries on both cars are very similar, the #95 carrying a little more sponsorship than the sister machine. Both feature chrome roof panels, which are flawlessly finished and stand out well against the fine metallic green paintwork, as do the bright green stripes on the sides, around the rear lights and on the bonnet vents.

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.
