The 1:18th model of Bruce's #5 McLaren M7A featured above sold out within days of us receiving our shipment, so a lot of collectors missed out on purchasing this model. Good news! I've managed to get my hands on a few more.

Contact me if you're interested in purchasing one of these superb 1:18th models.

The M7A is missing the BRUCE McLaren logos on the side do they come with the model and why are they not applied. It seem strange for such a fab mode that Bruces team logo McLaren Cars and his name seperate are missing any explanation.

Hi T332 (sorry, don't know your name),
Have you any images of the M7A as raced in the Belgium GP with Bruce's name and Team logo on? I would like to forward them on to Spark. I'm sure they would appreciate your feedback.

Spark are normally extremely accurate with their models, and I'm surprised that they have this detail wrong. After a quick online search I found these images...

...I can't see any name or logo on the car in these period shots.
