Shadow DN8 'Shadow Racing' Canadian GP 1976 Tom Pryce in 1:43 scale
This is the Shadow DN8 'Shadow Racing' Canadian GP 1976 Tom Pryce in 1:43 scale by Spark.
At the 1976 Canadian Grand Prix held at Mosport International Raceway, Welsh Formula 1 star Tom Pryce drove the Shadow DN8 #16 — a sleek, Ford Cosworth-powered Grand Prix car designed by Tony Southgate and Dave Wass — to an 11th-place finish after starting 13th on the grid. Pryce was widely respected for his raw speed and commitment behind the wheel, and although the DN8 was still developing its potential, he battled hard through a deeply competitive midfield. What made the 1976 Canadian GP unique was its fast and flowing layout at Mosport — unlike tight street circuits or high-downforce tracks — which put a premium on bravery and mechanical grip, and Pryce’s performance there highlighted his ability to extract pace from a car that was often outpaced by competitors with larger budgets and more established machinery.

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.
