Emerson Fittipaldi and the 72D
The Lotus 72 is considered one of the most revolutionary and successful Formula 1 cars of all time. Fittipaldi used the improved D version to win the world championship in 1972. The 1:8 scale allows the elegant, wedge-shaped lines of the 72D and the technical innovations to be experienced in unrivalled depth.

This detailed finished model is a key exhibit for any serious motorsport collector who appreciates not only history but also the highest form of modelling.
