Spice SE87C Le Mans 1988 #131 Graff by Spark
This Spice chassis had won the C2 category at Le Mans in 1987 and was running in second place the following year when a broken engine mount put an end to the team’s race. At some point during proceedings the rear deck appears to have been changed as photos from the night running show a black rear wing but when it was parked up in the pits the wing was white as seen here. The decoration is neatly and accurately placed and the way that the front number surround fits over the radiator exit vents is particularly impressive.

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.
