Lotus 16 Championship 1959 Dutch GP Driver Innes Ireland in 1:18 scale
This is the Lotus 16 Championship 1959 Dutch GP Driver Innes Ireland in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
At the 1959 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, Innes Ireland piloted the Lotus 16, representing the marque during the early stages of its Formula One evolution. Known for his fearless and aggressive driving style, Ireland was still building his reputation in top-level motorsport. The Lotus 16, a sleek and lightweight front-engined car, was beginning to show its limits as the rear-engined revolution took hold. Although Ireland did not finish the race due to mechanical issues, his performance was spirited and showcased both his raw talent and Lotus's growing potential in Formula One. The race itself was notable as part of the transitional period in F1 history, where engineering philosophies were rapidly shifting.
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
