Description
Welcome to Road & Race Collectables. This listing is for a rare Spark 1/43 scale 1980 Porsche 962C - winner of the 1986 Daytona 24 Hours in the hands of our very own 5 time Le Mans winner (and thoroughly top bloke) Derek Bell, alongside Al Holbert and Al Unser Junior . Presented in the wonderful vintage livery of the Holbert Racing Team team with Lowenbrau sponsorship. Known as the ' Lowenbrau Special ', this car - Chassis 962-103 - is also the most successful 962 of all time. It was the first of its' type to win a race (the 1984 6 Hours of Watkins Glen), before taking many other wins right through to the 1987 Daytona 24 Hours. When last sold at Amelia Island in 2012, this car went for $1,925,000! - I'll let you have this one a bit cheaper. I bought this model from a private collector, who has obviously kept it in excellent condition - please see photos for condition as this is the actual item you will receive. I don't think the plastic case has ever been opened, and I'm certain the model itself has never been removed from the base. Unfortunately the card outer sleeve is missing and there's a very small mark on the clear top (see pic 20) - hardly worth mentioning, but I'm a terrible perfectionist so wish to point it out! Spark models are normally very expensive, but I got a good deal so I'm happy to pass it on! From a smoke free home. This will be nicely packed in a box to protect it - no jiffy bags here! Will be sent Royal Mail 2nd class Signed For, (needs signature or pick up from PO if you're out). Proof of postage and a tracking number will be obtained. Postage is discounted and there is no charge for packing or materials. I will send it within 2 - 3 days of payment being received (ebay payment please), to the registered address or I will send it overseas via the ebay Global Shipping Programme. Please note, the GSP does not support combined shipping - add all items to the basket then pay in one go, that way only one order number and one tracking number will be produced - poor ebay gets confused otherwise! Please see my listings for other hard to find models and collectable items. I always try to combine shipping with other items if possible. Thank you for your interest.
