This is the Brabham BT26A No.24 South Africa GP 1970 Peter de Klerk in 1:43 scale by Spark.

At the 1970 South African Grand Prix at Kyalami, South African racer Peter de Klerk took the wheel of the Brabham BT26A #24 for the local Team Gunston entry and finished 11th overall, five laps down on race winner Jack Brabham but ahead of several other privateer entries. De Klerk, a popular figure in South African motorsport who competed in a handful of World Championship Grands Prix, brought his home‑built experience and national pride to one of the few times Formula 1 visited the African continent. The 1970 South African GP itself stood out from many other rounds because it kicked off the season in hot, dry conditions at a high‑altitude, fast‑flowing circuit, where engine performance was challenged by thin air and reliability was as important as outright speed — a demanding mix rarely seen on tighter, lower‑altitude tracks.
