This is the Alpine A210 No.49 Le Mans 24H 1969 in 1:43 scale by Spark.

The Alpine A210 No.49 participated in the 1969 Le Mans 24 Hours, driven by Roger Delageneste and Jean-Luc Thérier. This lightweight French prototype was designed to excel in the efficiency-focused "Index of Performance" category, which rewarded cars with the best balance of speed and fuel consumption. The 1969 race was unique due to the famous "Le Mans start," where drivers ran across the track to their cars for the last time, before it was abolished for safety reasons. That year also saw Jacky Ickx's iconic slow walk to his car in protest of the dangerous tradition, making the 1969 race a historic turning point in Le Mans.
