Jaguar D-Type 1st Le Mans 1955 #6 Hawthorn/Bueb by Spark
As with the Jaguar E Types from Spark in this edition, the main body finish on this rendition of the 1955 race winning D Type is toned down to a realistic period soft sheen rather than with a modern 'Pebble Beach' high gloss. The panel engraving is extremely crisp and where necessary the decals have been cut into the panels adding a great level of extra realism. Very good indeed.

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.
