Description
This 1:18 scale model recreates the 1979 Lotus 79 Ford driven by Mario Andretti in the Argentine Grand Prix, where he finished fifth.

Mario Andretti won six Formula 1 Grands Prix during the 1978 season, becoming the second American to win the title after Phil Hill in 1961. In 1979, the Lotus 80 proved unsuccessful, and Andretti returned to the previous year’s Lotus 79. He won 12 Grands Prix over a 14-year Formula 1 career and was regarded as one of the era’s leading all-around race drivers.
