The Tyrrell 009 marked a new chapter for Ken Tyrrell’s team following the bold but ultimately short-lived experiment of the six-wheeled P34. Returning to a conventional four-wheel layout for 1979, the 009 was penned by Maurice Phillipe and powered by the ubiquitous Ford Cosworth DFV — a clean, competitive package that gave Tyrrell’s drivers a genuine tool to fight with in the upper midfield.
Didier Pironi, the gifted and ambitious French driver who would go on to challenge for the world championship with Ferrari in 1982, was one of Tyrrell’s key assets in 1979. At the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos — a race won by Jacques Laffite’s dominant Ligier JS11 — Pironi brought the No. 3 Tyrrell home in fourth place, a solid points finish that demonstrated both the car’s competitiveness and his own considerable talent.
Spark’s 1:18 resin model captures the 009 in its Brazilian GP specification with meticulous attention to livery and period detail, measuring approximately 25cm in length and presented with a display case and base.

Understanding Scale
The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.
