About this model

Product Description

The Marsh Models MM341B99 Lotus 19 commemorates Dan Gurney's memorable victory in the 1960 Nassau Trophy Race, one of the premier events of the International Bahamas Speed Week. Finished as car #99, this beautifully crafted 1:43 scale replica recreates the Lotus 19 that Gurney drove to victory on the demanding Oakes Field circuit in Nassau, Bahamas.

The Lotus 19, often known as the "Monte Carlo," was one of Colin Chapman's most successful sports-racing designs. Featuring lightweight construction, advanced mid-engine layout and Coventry Climax power, the Lotus 19 quickly became one of the fastest and most competitive sports cars of its era.

At the 1960 Nassau Trophy, Dan Gurney delivered a masterful performance, leading the powerful international field to claim overall victory. The win was especially significant as it marked the first Nassau Trophy victory by a rear-engined sports car, highlighting the technological shift that would soon dominate international motorsport. The race attracted many of the world's leading drivers and manufacturers, making victory at Nassau one of the most prestigious sports car achievements outside the World Championship calendar.

Marsh Models has accurately reproduced the elegant lines of the Lotus 19, complete with race number 99, period-correct details and the clean appearance of Gurney's winning machine. Produced in resin with exceptional craftsmanship, this model is an outstanding addition to any collection focused on Lotus, Dan Gurney or the golden age of sports car racing.

Highly sought after by collectors, the Lotus 19 represents one of Colin Chapman's finest sports-racing creations and an important milestone in endurance racing history.
