This is the Lotus 49 No.6 British GP 1967 Graham Hill in 1:43 scale by Spark.
Graham Hill drove the iconic Lotus 49 No.6 during the 1967 British Grand Prix, a race that was particularly significant in Formula 1 history. The British GP at Silverstone that year marked the debut of the Lotus 49, a car that would go on to revolutionize motorsport with its groundbreaking design, most notably the use of the Ford-Cosworth DFV engine. Hill, a two-time World Champion and one of the sport's most respected drivers, took full advantage of the 49’s potential, clinching victory in this race. The 1967 season was a turning point for Formula 1, with the introduction of the DFV engine, which would become the standard for many teams in subsequent years. Hill’s win in the British GP was not only a triumph for him but also for Lotus and designer Colin Chapman, who had taken a bold step in using a rear-engine design combined with the powerful new engine. The 1967 season, full of innovation, technological evolution, and fierce competition, solidified Hill’s legacy as one of the greatest drivers of his time.
