Sunbeam Tiger Targa Florio 1965 #192
Cooling was an issue even for road going versions of the Sunbeam Tiger, so with a larger, Shelby-tuned V8 fitted in this ex-works rally car, plenty of vents were added. At the front we see the grille and bumper removed to allow as much air in as possible and the trailing edge of the bonnet is also neatly propped open. At the rear the boot is also open to allow air over the rear brakes and axle. The bonnet and boot panels are neatly painted in satin black, as is the roof and the few decals on the car are accurately placed, with attention having been paid to the creatively painted race number on the front. It’s an ugly beast, but it has been beautifully modelled.

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.
