The car this is based on raced in the 1976 Japanes Grand Prix but retired out of the race due a tire issue. But most of us racing fans can't really buy a Formula 1 car so we buy scale versions of our favorite cars instead. I barely ever see this specific model on ebay so you can be the owner of a rare item. It has been on display on a shelf its entire life and owned by a guy who collects this stuff as a hobby. Add this little fella to your own collection today!
