Triumph TR2 1st Macau 1954 Carvalho by Spark
In early 1954 a group of Macanese motoring enthusiasts organised a vehicle based treasure hunt and it was quickly decided that a race on the streets could work and so the Macau Grand Prix was born in the October of that year. The winner of that first race was Eddie Carvalho in his Triumph TR2 and Spark’s model matches very well the preserved car which is held in the Macau motor museum. A significant piece of motor racing history and one that is nicely 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.
