Lancia B20 1st Targa Florio 1952 #34 Bonetto by Spark
Lancia B20 1st Targa Florio 1952
Felice Bonetto very nearly didn’t win the Targa Florio in 1952, his car running out of fuel within sight of the finish and needing to be pushed home uphill, but his lead was sufficient to allow him to take that win! We’ve recently seen the B20s from Le Mans the same year and this was the same car which won its class in France a few weeks after the Targa. As we’d expect, the models are extremely similar and we see a decent paint finish over a crisply cast body. There are a pair of large fuel fillers on the tail and these and the other smaller parts are neatly fitted, including open side windows.

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.
