Porsche 917 1st Le Mans 1971 #22 Marko/van Lennep by Spark
Spark have several sub-themes
running within their range and a recent
departure is Le Mans winners. The
2008 Audi at the top of the page is
included in this set and here we see the
white, Martini sponsored Porsche 917
which was victorious in 1971. It’s a very
smart little model with plenty of etched
detail, particularly under the rear of the car where we see the complex framing
which supports the spare wheel and exhausts. The paint is excellent and the fit
of all of the ancillaries sees Spark at the top of their game.

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.
