Description

1978 Mario Andretti World Champion JPS Lotus Ford 79 in 1:18 scale by MCG. This black and gold resin model measures approximately 8 inches long and comes in its original box with a labeled stand and detailed finish. Please check the photos, as they are part of the description.

After a successful career in America, Mario Andretti went to Europe for Formula 1. He made 128 starts, with 12 wins, 19 podiums, 180 career points, and the 1978 World Drivers’ Championship.

The championship-winning Lotus 79 was the first car to take full advantage of ground-effects aerodynamics, pioneered by its predecessor, the Lotus 78. The full-size car used honeycomb aluminum construction and was powered by a Ford Cosworth DFV V8. Please check the photos, as they are part of the description and show the car you will receive.
