Lola Mk4 Italy 1963 Hailwood
Alternative version SPK1814 Surtees SPK4268 Salvadori SPK4269 Trintignant SPK4820 Amon & SPK5330 Bianchi
Mike Hailwood was very much at the height of his motorcycling career in 1963 but managed to make a couple of Grand Prix appearances, in a Lotus at Silverstone and a Lola in Austria, both cars run by Reg Parnell. The shape, colours and bodywork details for the Lola look very good here, including the small vent added to the top of the front bodywork, presumably to duct some cool air into the cockpit. The placement of the number on the nose is slightly off (it should be nearer the centre) but otherwise the decoration is all 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.
