This is the Porsche 550 No.38 Le Mans 24H 1955 Ringgenberg/Gilomen in 1:43 scale by Spark.

The Porsche 550 Spyder No. 38 at the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans was driven by Swiss racers Walter Ringgenberg and Hans-Jörg Gilomen. The car, chassis number 550/0031, was powered by a 1.5L flat-four engine and entered by Jeudy-Bonnet. Unfortunately, the team retired after completing 65 laps due to an engine failure. This race is particularly significant due to the tragic accident involving Pierre Levegh's Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR, which resulted in the deaths of over 80 spectators and led to major safety reforms in motorsport.
