About the Porsche 911 996 GT3 Cup Mobil 1 #2 V. Ickx Carrera Cup 2004 Minichamps 1:43
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast reproduces V. Ickx's #2 Mobil 1 Porsche 911 996 GT3 Cup from the 2004 Carrera Cup season. The body is a sealed zinc casting with tampo-printed livery. A fitting piece for collectors following the Ickx name into motorsport's next generation.
Vanina Ickx carried her family's racing name into the Porsche one-make ranks, and this 2004 Mobil 1 livery captures an early step in that career, following decades after Jacky Ickx's own 1960s successes.
A Recognizable Oil-Brand Livery in Diecast
The 996 GT3 Cup body is a sealed one-piece zinc casting, and Minichamps captures the round headlights of the 996 generation accurately against the later 997 Cup shape used elsewhere in this catalog. The Mobil 1 livery is tampo-printed onto the shell, and the bold red-and-white branding holds sharp edges along the doors and rear quarters, a design that reads clearly even at 1:43 scale. The separately fitted rear wing and front splitter give the casting its correct cup-car stance. Paint holds a flat, functional finish consistent with the actual race livery rather than a glossy road-car look.
A Family Racing Name on the Shelf
Collectors tracking driver lineages across generations will find genuine value pairing this with any Jacky Ickx pieces already in a display, since the two careers span decades of Porsche and BMW competition history. At 1:43, it fits comfortably with other mid-2000s Carrera Cup entries. Keep it out of direct light to preserve the bold Mobil 1 graphics over time.
