This is a new release collectors model in 1:43 scale by Ebbro of Japan, brand new in original packaging, Ebbro item number 43826.

In 2006 a new race series was initiated, the Japan Le Mans Challenge. It was open to LMP1 and LMP2 cars as well as GT1 and GT2, giving Japanese fans an opportunity to see these cars in action, and encourage Japanese teams by giving them more racing opportunities.

In LMP1 Team Mugen ran this Courage LC70 driven by Seiji Ara and Haruki Kurosawa. Their best result for the season was a win at the 1000km race at Okayama International Circuit, they finished the season in second position.

This model features accurate cast alloy wheels with Michelin race tyres and amazing brake detail with both cabon fibre brake discs and brake calipers fitted to all four wheels. The body is very nicely proportioned and depicts the original car very accurately.
