Cooper T53 1st Belgian 1960 #2 Brabham by Spark
Jack Brabham led the Belgian Grand Prix from the very start in 1960 though he did come under plenty of pressure early on from Innes Ireland and later Phil Hill, who was in a hopelessly outclassed front-engined Ferrari. Brabham’s performance and his car were described as immaculate in period race reports and the model is too with excellent paint, neatly applied decals and finely moulded suspension parts.

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.
