Leigh’s Diecast Diary

We received two Spark samples today, so hopefully that means that it won’t be long before we see them released.

The first is a 1:18 replica of the beautiful Matra Simca MS670 that won the 1973 Le Mans 24 Hours, in the hands of Henri Pescarolo and Gerard Larrouse (SPA180012).

The other sample is of Spark’s next 1:43 race transporter, in the famous Gold Leaf Team Lotus colours from 1970 (SPK286). This was the year that Lotus’s Jochen Rindt won the world championship posthumously after his fatal accident at Monza.

Welcome to the thirty fith Leigh’s Diary Vidcast, reviewing all the new diecast replicas that were released last week.
