About the Aston Martin V12 Vantage #7 U. Bez / Porritt / R. Meaden / Mathai 24 Hours Nurburgring 2009 Minichamps 1:43
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Aston Martin V12 Vantage #7 recreates Ulrich Bez's 2009 24 Hours Nurburgring entry, a step up from the smaller-engined V8 he raced the year before. A compact GT model for a Nurburgring endurance collection.
The switch from V8 to V12 power between Bez's 2008 and 2009 entries marks genuine year-on-year progression, and that story carries through both small-scale models.
A Larger, More Aggressive GT Casting
The V12 Vantage's wider vents and more aggressive front splitter distinguish it visually from the V8 version even at 1:43, and Minichamps' casting keeps those differences legible rather than smoothing them into a generic Aston Martin shape. The #7 livery again carries factory-applied graphics with sharp roundel edges, and the wing and diffuser detailing hold their definition despite the small scale. Zinc-alloy construction gives the model the same reassuring weight found across Minichamps' N24-focused GT range.
Tracking a Driver's Progression Year to Year
Having both Bez's 2008 V8 and 2009 V12 entries side by side lets a collector show genuine model progression, both in the car and in a specific driver's Nurburgring campaign, something a single isolated model can't communicate. At 1:43, pairing the two takes minimal extra shelf space, and the shared #7 number ties the display together visually even as the underlying machinery changed.
