Lotus 49B No.9 British GP 1968 Jackie Oliver in 1:43 scale
This is the Lotus 49B No.9 British GP 1968 Jackie Oliver in 1:43 scale by Spark.
At the 1968 British Grand Prix held at Brands Hatch, British driver Jackie Oliver lined up in the Lotus 49B No. 9, a car powered by the revolutionary Ford-Cosworth DFV V8 that had transformed Formula 1 with its lightweight, stressed-member design. Oliver had qualified second on the grid, showing impressive pace alongside his more experienced teammate, but was forced to retire with gearbox issues after 43 of the 80 laps, meaning he did not score points that day. What set this particular race apart was that it ended up being won by Jo Siffert in a privately entered Lotus 49B, marking the last time a privateer entry won a World Championship Grand Prix — a rare achievement in F1 history and a unique highlight of the 1968 season.
