Abarth 700S Le Mans 1962 #52 by Spark
Neither of these two near identical cars made it to the end of the race at Le Mans in 1962, the privately entered #56 suffering engine failure and the factory #52 having a fuelling problem. The models are both nicely finished and there is a little bit of engine detail just about visible though the stand off engine cover. The side windows are again overlapped panes of acetate to give the effect of a real sliding window. Simple but effective.

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.
