Brabham BT44 Brazil 1974 Robarts
Alternative version SPK4344 Reutemann SPK4786 Von Opel & SPK5259 Watson
Essex farmer Richard Robarts started racing in his mid-twenties and soon discovered an aptitude for competition, sharing the 1973 Lombank F3 title with Tony Brise. The next step was F1 and he was able to buy a seat at Brabham for the 1974 season, his best result came in Brazil with fifteenth overall. He was replaced after only three events by the better funded Ricky von Opel. Most photos from this weekend appear to be from practice but the model has the correct minor sponsors for the race and also the correct rear wing endplates.

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.
