Porsche Carrera RSR 3.0 No.55 Le Mans 24H 1975 W. Vollery/R. Dorchy/E. Chapuis in 1:43 scale
This is the Porsche Carrera RSR 3.0 No.55 Le Mans 24H 1975 W. Vollery/R. Dorchy/E. Chapuis in 1:43 scale by Spark.
The Porsche Carrera RSR 3.0 No. 55 entered for the 1975 24 Hours of Le Mans — driven by William Vollery, Roger Dorchy and Eric Chapuis — was a classic example of Porsche’s successful Group 4 GT machine, renowned for its air‑cooled 3.0 L flat‑six and nimble handling that made it highly competitive among GT entries of the era. Unfortunately, this particular #55 retired early in the race due to engine problems and did not finish, reflecting the brutal endurance test Le Mans presents even for strong, well‑prepared cars and drivers. That 1975 event was notable for imposing new fuel‑consumption limits and running without major factory prototype teams, meaning privateer and GT efforts like the Carrera RSR played a bigger role and highlighted the determination and resilience of smaller outfits in the classic 24‑hour marathon.
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.
