About the BMW 1800 TiSA #3 D. Glemser / J. Ickx 24 Hours of Spa 1965 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 1800 TiSA reproduces car #3 from the 1965 24 Hours of Spa, co-driven by Dieter Glemser and a young Jacky Ickx. The compact touring car represents an early, historically notable chapter in BMW's motorsport story.
Spa 1965 is a genuinely significant race in BMW's early competition history, and this 1800 TiSA carries a driver pairing that touring car historians recognize immediately.
A Compact Touring Car Rendered in Period Detail
The 1800 TiSA's boxy, upright shape leaves little room to hide tooling flaws, and Minichamps keeps the roofline, window surrounds, and race number graphics crisp across the small body. The zinc alloy construction gives the model real weight for its compact footprint, and the period livery, with its bold number roundel and sponsor lettering, stays sharply printed rather than blurring at the edges. At roughly 21cm in 1:18, it's smaller than most GT racers of later decades but carries genuine period character in its narrow tires and simple trim.
Why This Specific Livery Matters Historically
Jacky Ickx's early career included works touring car drives before Formula 1 made him a household name, and a 1965 Spa entry from that period carries real documentary value for collectors who follow driver careers as closely as manufacturers. Pairing this #3 car with its #6 sister entry from the same event builds a fuller picture of BMW's works touring car effort at Spa that year. For a collector specializing in 1960s Group racing or early BMW motorsport, this is a piece worth seeking specifically for its driver pairing rather than as a generic period racer.
