Amon, known for his smooth and precise driving style, was a key figure in Matra’s push to challenge the dominant teams of the era. The Paul Ricard circuit stood out for its long Mistral straight combined with technical corners, demanding a perfect balance between speed and handling. This race was unique as it tested the durability of both car and driver under hot conditions, with Amon demonstrating resilience and skill, even though mechanical issues often thwarted his chances for victory.

This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
