Ford GT40 BOAC 6hrs 1967 #5 Charlton/Crabbe by Spark
Produced in Spark's UK National series and limited to just 300 examples, here we see Colin Crabbe's GT40 as entered for the BOAC 6 Hours with South African Dave Charlton as co-driver. Photos of the car in the race are rare as it crashed in practice and didn't take the start, but the model has been well made from the information available and is finished in Spark's typical crisp, clean style.

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.
