Oreca 03 Le Mans 2012 #48 Murphy by Spark
Physically all of the Oreca Nissans in LMP2 were identical, but there was plenty of colour to be seen differentiating them. Murphy Prototypes were a new name to Le Mans, team principle Greg Murphy having been an F3 driver before setting up a renewable energy business in his native Ireland. The car was attractively finished in a dark green with white and red highlights and this livery is accurately replicated on the model. Sadly the car retired with suspension problems.

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.
