TWR Porsche 1st Le Mans 1997 #7 Alboreto/Johansson/Kristensen by Spark
TWR-Porsche 1st Le Mans 1997
Having run a two car effort at Le Mans in 1996, Joest had a single entry in 1997 and it was the same chassis with which they had won the previous year, making it the second time that they had taken consecutive victories at Le Mans with one chassis. There were numerous subtle changes to the bodywork and these appear to have all been replicated on Spark’s model. The decoration is neatly placed and the detailing has been carefully done.

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.
