Williams FW06 No.49 Race of Champions 1979 Giacomo Agostini in 1:43 scale
This is the Williams FW06 No.49 Race of Champions 1979 Giacomo Agostini in 1:43 scale by Spark.
Italian motorcycle legend Giacomo Agostini, best known for winning 15 World Championships on two wheels, ventured into four‑wheeled racing in 1979 by campaigning a Williams FW06 No. 49 as a private entry under “Team Agostini.” At the Race of Champions — a non‑World Championship Formula 1 event held at Brands Hatch — Agostini competed against a mix of current F1 machinery and independent entries, a rare opportunity for a rider‑turned‑driver to measure himself in top‑level single‑seat cars. Though he finished 11th in the 40‑lap race, his participation was notable simply because he had switched disciplines at the highest level — following a path trodden by few — and took on World Championship‑calibre competition in a classic 1970s F1 car powered by the Ford‑Cosworth DFV V8.

production processes, such as hand cast resin, diecast and injected molded thermoplastics.Photo etched
parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Spark ensures the absolute best
quality possible. Each model comes with its own acrylic display case.
