1966 Le Mans 24 Hour Winner -- Ford GT40 Mk 2 #2 -- McLaren/Amon -- This time by Minichamps

I posted the CRM version yesterday. I have several different castings of this model. Here is the Minichamps.

Plus, The Atlas version.

 

s l1600

I managed to find the Number 4 car in gold from 1966 Le Mans driven by Mark Donahue and Paul Hawkins. It did not finish the race. This is by Atlas also.

 

s l1600

 Finally, here is the third place finishing Number 5 car which is still on my should buy list. This is a picture of the actual car driven by Ronnie Bucknum and M Masta. This Number 5 GT40 was unique in that it was the only GT40 that ran with an automatic transmission at Le Mans.

Isn't the #2 with the open engine cover a Minichamps, not Spark?

@chris Anybody has ever seen the big 1/10 scale Exoto GT 40? I bought one at the time it was sold through Danbury Mint. This was a very impressive model with more than 2000 parts. I have never owned again a model so accurate and detailed.

Here is a period review .....
