Porsche 718 Monaco 1961 Herrmann by Spark
Alternative version SPK1865 Gurney France
Although he enjoyed great success in sports cars, Hans Herrmann’s Formula 1 career was rather sporadic with only occasional outings. At Monaco in 1961 he was the third of three Porsche factory entries and finished ninth having qualified twelfth. The shape of his car is well captured and the overall finish is very well done in the low lustre silver which is perfect for Porsche racers of this era.

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.
