As this year is the swan song for the current V8 Vantage GTE Pro car in the World Endurance Championship (WEC), I thought I'd mark its passing with something special to remember it by.
I commissioned Dave Clark to make a sculture of the car in its current AMR colour & livery. The horizontal strip above the windscreen denotes number 97 that won this year's 24 hours of Le Mans, but more importantly, it's a tribute to the designers, drivers, the team & supporters of all the Vantage GTE cars since it started racing in 2012.
The sculpture is laser-cut alloy painted in Sterling Green with AMR livery. The base is carbon fibre wrap.

Dimensions:
1/12th (360mm)
Base 450mm x 225mm
He also makes 2 other sizes.

Dave produces some utterly breathtaking automotive artwork, as well as bespoke commissions. I think it's a fabulous piece & will remind me of just what a fabulous car this is for many years to come.

(BTW there are no backhanders for me!).

Do like the GTE sculpture, but doubt I'd get it past SWMBO as 'art', the French ones look a little too much like the colour sample models that you get at the Main Dealer. paperbag
