Leigh’s Diecast Diary

I think Spark broke the record today for the largest number of new releases at once! We had a delivery from them with several new 1:43 subjects.

These included three Aston Martin DBR9s from this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours; the GT1 class winning 009 car (SPK1210), the 008 car (SPK1209), and the 100 car (SPK1211).

My favourite replica on the shipment was the Castrol sponsored winning Jaguar XJR9 from the 1988 Daytona 24 Hours (SPK774), one of my favourite motorsport liveries of all time. Mark Donohue’s 1968 Can-Am McLaren M6A also looks great (SPK1111).

All the rest of the new releases can be seen at the top of our ‘New Releases’ category.
