This amazing model of a Lotus Type 79 took almost 250 hours to build by master model builder Jeff Morgan. Jeff built three of them at the same time. This is one of the three. Once completed he had them delivered to Mario Andretti to sign as the number 5 car was what he raced in the 1978 Grand Prix Championship. After I bought the mounted model (finished in June 2013), I had Lotus Chief Mechanic Bob Dance sign it and then had the model and photos of them signing placed into a custom shadow box (25.25" x 20.75") for wall mounting. No other model exists like this. It is one of one.

There is a small tear on the upper left side of the frame which I will repair.
