Lotus 43 BRM 1st USA 1966 #1 Clark 1:18 by GP Replicas
the 1966 US Grand Prix at Watkins Glen was significant for at least two reasons: it marked Jim Clark's 20thWorld Championship win, and he achieved it in a Lotus 43 powered by the unreliable BRM H16 engine. Clark gambled on using the H16rather than the proven 2.0litre Coventry ClimaxV8and it paid off- in fact, his victory was the only one the H16 would ever score. GP Replicas has done a fine job of modelling that H16 in Clark's winning Type43,which can be appreciated all the more if you leave off the detachable air-box covers, as in our picture. According to the leather-trimmed base, only 500models are being produced (although they're not individually numbered), and this Lotus is one of GP's best to date.

About GP Replicas
Well finished and smartly presented resincast models. Proportions generally good but some of the detailing, particularly on older 1:18s, can be a little basic.
