1/12 ASTON MARTIN P218 V8 5.0 ENGINE 1967 LE MANS NURBURGRING for TAMIYA LOLA
In 1967, Tadek Marek designed the ASTON MARTIN Project 218 V8 5.0 engine which would be used to power AMs entries of the Le Mans 24Hr and Nurnburgring 12Hr races held that year. The Nurburgring race showed that the engine had great potential, but at Le Mans, the engine failed in such a way that Aston Martin decided to leave active racing instantly...
Tamiya used the Nurburgring entry as box art for their big scale Lola kit. Unfortunately, Tamiya supplied a 5.0 Chevrolet engine in its kit, and although that engine was the more popular and reliable one to be fitted into the Lola, at 1967 Nurburgring and Le Mans races, the Lola's were powered by an Aston Martin engine: AM Project 218.
The model on offer provides the 1967 Le Mans and Nurburgring correct engine and even addresses the different intake setups used during these races.
The engine was 3D drawn, and then prior to printing the drawings were checked for correctness by former Aston Martin mechanic Mr. David Morgan, who accompanied the car during its 1967 race adventures. All this effort to ensure you get an historical correct model, executed to highest standards. BBK quality, quoi!
