Aston Martin DBR4-250 2nd International Trophy 1959 #1 Salvadori by Spark
This delightful resincast depicts the debut for Aston Martin's first foray into single-seaters, at the non-championship Silverstone lnternational Trophy in May 1959. Carroll Shelby did not finish, but Roy Salvadori brought his Ted Cutting-designed car home in second behind Jack Brabham's Cooper-Climax. The future looked bright but, two seasons of F1 failure later Aston pulled the plug and didn't return until 2021, since when it has fared a little better.

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.
