Abarth 700S Le Mans 1961 #56 by Spark
There were four 700cc Abarths in the 1961 Le Mans 24 Hour race and sadly none of them made it to the finish, this one dropping out with electrical problems roughly half way through. The shape of Spark’s model looks very good and there is some nice fine detailing. For this subject Spark have chosen to pick out the panel lines in black, something that we’re not overly keen on but that we know some collectors like. It certainly highlights how precise they are!

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.
