Lola T70 Mk1 1st Mosport 1965 #11 Surtees by Spark
This car was the first Lola T70 built and was delivered to John Surtees’ team early in 1965, setting an outright lap record in testing and then winning the first major race for the type at Mosport in June the same year. The decoration on the car is unlike most Team Surtees Lolas in that there is no arrow stripe, just a simple green stripe down the centre of the car. The model is smartly finished and the display presentation includes a miniaturised chassis plate mounted in the case.

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.
