This is a new, one-off, 1:43-scale model of the Lancia Beta Montecarlo 'Martini' from Le Mans 1981. Car #65 was driven by Michele Alboreto, Eddie Cheever and Carlo Facetti to a Group 5 class win, finishing in 8th position overall.
As a base for the model I’ve used a Racing 43 white-metal kit which I have transformed by making an all-new scratch-built interior using brass and nickel silver. Whilst I did keep some of the original bodywork from the kit, I overmoulded the front and rear covers in resin to make new, lighter parts. Having lighter covers makes displaying the model fully-open much easier.
Other scratch-built parts, either in brass, nickel silver or resin, include the doors, seat, dashboard, steering column, chassis, roll-bar, and engine, amongst many others.
​The work-in-progress of this model was on display at Retromobile 2026. It was finished in the summer of 2026.
