Brand
Spark Models is a brand of die-cast racing car models. The brand was founded by Hugo (Hugues) Ripert in 1998 or 2000. After working for Vitesse and later Ixo he started Spark. The company specializes in limited edition resin models, mainly sportscars in 1:43.
Hugo started arranging for the first Spark models of Le Mans cars to be produced and distributed. Initially concentrating on the cars at the "back of the grid" ignored by the then existing major manufactures, the models were produced in small runs of around 700-1000 pieces.
