Lancia Aurelia B20 6th Le Mans 1952 #39 by Spark
Lancia Aurelia B20 8th Le Mans 1952 #40
Also available SPK4391 #39
Following a class win at Le Mans with a privately entered B20 in 1951, the factory entered two cars in 1952 and the two-litre machines not only finished first and second in their category, but also an impressive sixth and eighth overall. The positioning of the additional windscreen wiper on the right A-pillar looks rather odd on the models but looking at the race photos, it is correct (not quite sure how it would have worked mind!). The paint finishes on both models are well applied with sharp panel lines showing beneath and the few decals and small amount of trim are all accurately placed, the side windows being partially open to add a little life too.

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.
