Scarab Mk2 1st Riverside 1958 #5 Daigh by Spark
Chuck Daigh’s win in the Riverside 200 mile race marked the first win for the Scarab marque against an international field (albeit a small one) and was heralded as their arrival in the big time. Sadly they weren’t able to repeat the success, though there was plenty at a regional level. Spark’s model replicates this pretty front engined car superbly and is very well finished in a fine pale metallic blue. Panel engraving is spot on throughout and the small details are neatly applied.

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.
