This is the Brabham BT26A No.8 Belgium GP 1970 Derek Bell in 1:43 scale by Spark.

British driver Derek Bell, who would later become one of the most successful sportscar racers in history, piloted the Brabham BT26A No. 8 at the 1970 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa‑Francorchamps. This event was notable for its brutally fast and dangerous 8.7‑mile layout where many top drivers struggled with reliability and the demanding combination of high speeds and variable weather. Bell qualified 15th in a privately entered Wheatcroft Racing Brabham‑Ford but his race was short‑lived; a gearbox failure forced him to retire after just one lap, highlighting the mechanical unpredictability that often plagued privateer entries in this era.
