Porsche 906 5th Daytona 24hrs 1967 #55 Spoerry/Steinemann by Spark
Porsche 906 5th Daytona 1967 #55
Alternative version SPK5422 #56
There were two Swiss entered long tail 906s in the 1967 Daytona 24 Hours, this machine of Spoerry and Steinemann running under the Squadra Tartaruga banner being the better looking and the more successful, finishing a fine fifth overall and the first privateer home. We’ve seen a few 906 derivatives lately and on all the etched catches for the rear bodywork are very crude, which is a pity as the overall shape looks good, the paintwork is excellent and the decals are all neatly placed.

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.
