Arrows A6 No.29 Dutch GP 1983 Marc Surer in 1:43 scale
This is the Arrows A6 No.29 Dutch GP 1983 Marc Surer in 1:43 scale by Spark.
Marc Surer was a seasoned Swiss Formula 1 driver known for his grit with smaller teams like Arrows during the turbo‑charged era; despite never scoring a podium in his 88‑race F1 career, he scored points several times for Arrows in 1983 and later became a respected motorsport commentator after retiring from racing. At the 1983 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, Surer drove the Arrows A6 No. 29, powered by the naturally aspirated Cosworth DFV V8, to 8th place, a respectable result in a race dominated by turbo Ferraris and marked by the debut of the McLaren MP4/1E with its new TAG‑Porsche turbo engine. Unlike some races where turbo cars struggled, this Zandvoort round stood out because Surer’s Cosworth‑powered A6 was the first non‑turbo car home, showing its durability even as turbocharged machines increasingly took over the grid.
Spark models are hand painted, decorated and assembled. Each model is created using a variety of
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.
