Lotus 25 - Jim Clark - 1963 World Champion - Spark 1/18

Pretty and dainty Spark model of the 1963 F1 Championship winning Lotus 25 driven by the legendary taciturn Scot, Jimmy Clarke.

The Lotus 25 was a forerunner of the Lotus 33 which went onto win the championship with Clarke in 1965. Both these cars were revolutionary monocoque construction instead of space frame the first cars of this construction in F1 and templates for all F1 cars in the future. They also featured lie-down seating position to reduce frontal area another Chapman innovation that became standard.

Tiny and light, they were both trend setters and the quickest F1 cars from 1962-1965.

This model captures the simple and pure F1 shape of that era. Finished in plain Britsh Racing Green with yellow stripe and Lotus logos. Beautiful!

In mint condition and with its original box also perfect.

From my private collection.
