This is the Honda RA301 No.5 Italian GP 1968 David Hobbs in 1:43 scale by Spark.

David Hobbs drove the Honda RA301 No.5 in the 1968 Italian Grand Prix, a race that marked a significant moment in his early Formula 1 career. The Italian GP, held at the iconic Monza circuit, was part of a tumultuous season for Honda, as they were still establishing themselves as a competitive force in F1. Hobbs, driving for the Honda works team, was relatively new to the Formula 1 scene, and while he didn’t finish in the points, his participation highlighted Honda’s continued effort to build a presence in motorsport. The 1968 season itself was notable for its high drama, with the tragic loss of driver Jim Clark, and the dominance of teams like Ferrari and Lotus. Hobbs would later go on to have a successful career, but his appearance in the 1968 Italian GP remains an important part of Honda’s F1 history.
