This is the Ensign N176 No.22 Ensign-Ford Dutch GP 1976 Jacky Ickx in 1:43 scale by Spark.
The Ensign N176 #22, driven by Jacky Ickx at the 1976 Dutch Grand Prix, paired one of motorsport's greatest all-around talents with an ambitious independent Formula 1 team. Ickx, a multiple Grand Prix winner and six-time 24 Hours of Le Mans champion, was renowned for his smooth driving style, exceptional wet-weather ability, and remarkable versatility across Formula 1, endurance racing, and rally competition. The Ensign N176, designed by Nigel Bennett, was powered by the legendary Ford Cosworth DFV 3.0-liter V8, the engine that became the backbone of Formula 1 throughout the 1970s. Unlike the factory-backed machines from Ferrari or McLaren, the lightweight N176 relied on clever engineering, a simple yet effective aluminum monocoque chassis, and aerodynamic efficiency to remain competitive, making it a classic example of the ingenuity and determination that defined independent Formula 1 constructors of the era.
