Ligier JS P2 Nissan 12th Le Mans 2016 #25 Algarve Pro Racing by Spark
Ligier JS P2 Nissan Le Mans 2016 #25
The mainstream, non-motorsport media (in the UK at least) took rather more interest in the Le Mans race in 2016 thanks to the participation of this car and more specifically six-times Olympic gold-medallist Sir Chris Hoy who has taken up motor racing since retiring from cycling. Performance of the inexperienced team was steady but they stayed out of major trouble and finished. Nissan has backed Hoy’s racing and their name features prominently on an otherwise simply decorated machine. The finish is, as usual, to a decent standard and the model matches race photos well.

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.
