Lotus 49B No.2 4th Monaco GP 1969 Richard Attwood in 1:43 scale
This is the Lotus 49B No.2 4th Monaco GP 1969 Richard Attwood in 1:43 scale by Spark.
British driver Richard Attwood delivered a strong and unexpected performance in the Lotus 49B No. 2 with a fourth‑place finish at the 1969 Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo. Attwood was brought in by Gold Leaf Team Lotus as a substitute for the injured Jochen Rindt, and despite having minimal time in the car before the race he completed all 80 laps, earning valuable championship points. The 1969 Monaco GP was notable for three Lotus 49Bs finishing in the top four, underlining how well Colin Chapman’s design — with its Cosworth‑Ford DFV V8 — handled the tight, twisty street circuit. Attwood’s drive stood out because it was essentially a one‑off appearance in a highly competitive field, and it was the final Formula 1 race of his career before he moved on to greater success in sports car racing, including a win at the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans.
