Lotus Ford 79 – 1978 Formula One

Mario Andretti No. 5 Minichamps Diecast Model (1:18 Scale) Includes Original Manufacturer Box

This Minichamps diecast recreates the Lotus Ford 79 driven by Mario Andretti during the 1978 Formula One World Championship season. Finished in the iconic black-and-gold John Player Special livery, the Lotus 79 is regarded as one of the most dominant and technically significant Formula One cars ever produced, pioneering full ground-effect aerodynamics. Andretti’s 1978 campaign resulted in both the Drivers’ World Championship and the Constructors’ Championship for Team Lotus. The model is housed in its original Minichamps display box.
