    This is the Lotus 49B No.2 Gold Leaf Team Lotus 5th Belgium GP 1968 Jackie Oliver in 1:43 scale by Spark.The Lotus 49B #2, driven by Jackie Oliver to fifth place at the 1968 Belgian Grand Prix, was one of the defining Formula 1 cars of its era. Oliver, who was making his mark as one of Britain’s promising young drivers, impressed with his speed and composure while competing for the legendary Gold Leaf Team Lotus. The Lotus 49B stood apart from every other race car on the grid thanks to its revolutionary use of the Ford Cosworth DFV 3.0-liter V8 as a fully stressed structural member of the chassis, eliminating the need for a rear subframe and reducing weight while increasing rigidity. Combined with its sleek aerodynamic shape and the iconic red, white, and gold Gold Leaf Tobacco livery—the first major Formula 1 sponsorship colors—the 49B became one of the most influential and recognizable Grand Prix cars in motorsport history.Spark models are hand painted, decorated and assembled. Each model is created using a variety of production processes, such as hand cast resin, diecast and injected molded thermoplastics.Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Spark ensures the absolute best quality possible. Each model comes with its own acrylic display case.
