Tyrrell 018 San Marino 1989 #3 Palmer by Spark
Tyrrell only had one of their new 018s for the San Marino Grand Prix and this had been intended for use by team leader Alboreto. He failed to qualify the car though and so Jonathan Palmer got to drive it in the race, to good effect as it happens with a points finish. It was a very simple and clean design and the team had virtually no sponsorship. The model reflects this and is very nicely finished.

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.
