Jaguar D-Type 1st Le Mans 1957 #3 Bueb/Flockhart by Spark
Jaguar D 1st Le Mans 1957
When we saw Spark’s 1956 D Type Le Mans winner our only issue was a fairly major one, the lack of a gloss coat on the paint. We raised our concerns with Spark and we are pleased to say that they entered into meaningful conversation and that this 1957 looks stunning in an authentic lacquered ‘Flag Blue’. Get a little closer in and there is some nice attention to detail such as a little grubbiness in the creases of the pale green seats and the correct clear tonneau cover. Very well done.

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.
