Alpine A211 Paris 1000kms 1967 #15 by Spark
With the new 3-litre regulations coming into force, Alpine’s first larger capacity racer was a modified A210 with a Gordini-built V8 fitted in its modified tail. Although entered at Le Mans, it was a no show and so the Paris 1000kms was the car’s first competitive appearance. Externally, this unique machine looks very similar to the A210, but there are subtle changes and these are well replicated, the most obvious variations are enlarged intakes ahead of the rear wheels and the wheels themselves. The car wasn’t a huge success, but it is an important piece of Alpine and Renault racing history.

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.
