Jaguar D-Type No.7 Le Mans 24H 1958 Sanderson/Lawrence in 1:43 scale
This is the Jaguar D-Type No.7 Le Mans 24H 1958 Sanderson/Lawrence in 1:43 scale by Spark.
The Jaguar D-Type #7 entered by Ecurie Ecosse competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with drivers Ninian Sanderson and Jock Lawrence. The Jaguar D‑Type was one of the most iconic endurance racers of the 1950s, featuring a sleek aerodynamic body, a powerful straight‑six engine and advanced disc brakes that pioneered high‑speed stability and reliability—a major reason Jaguar won multiple Le Mans races earlier in the decade. Unfortunately, the #7 car did not finish the 1958 race due to engine failure, a reflection of how the event’s rule changes (which restricted engine size) and extremely competitive field pushed even legendary machines to their limits. Nonetheless, the D‑Type’s legacy at Le Mans remains legendary, and #7 stands as a testament to both the daring privateer efforts of Ecurie Ecosse and the golden era of British sports‑car engineering.

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.
