Shadow DN8 USA 1977 Jarier by Spark
Alan Jones’ victory after a drive through the field in Austria was his first in F1 and also the only win for the Shadow team in Grand Prix racing. The rest of their 1977 season was littered with retirements, often due to accidents such as Jarier tangling with other cars at Watkins Glen. Physically the two models are very similar though sponsorship changed subtly mid-season and both models are correctly decorated for their races.

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.
