About the BMW 2000 Ti #17 J. Ickx / C. van Ophem Winners 24 Hours of Spa 1966 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast reproduces the race-winning #17 BMW 2000 Ti driven by Jacky Ickx and C. van Ophem at the 1966 24 Hours of Spa. The body is a sealed zinc casting. An early career milestone for Ickx collectors and BMW touring car history.

This win came years before Ickx became a Formula 1 and Le Mans legend, making the 2000 Ti's Spa victory a genuinely early chapter in one of racing's most decorated careers.

Casting a 1960s Touring Car Correctly

The 2000 Ti body is a sealed one-piece zinc casting, and Minichamps captures the boxy, upright proportions typical of mid-1960s European touring cars, distinct from the wider, more aggressive silhouettes of later DTM-era racers also in this catalog. The #17 livery is tampo-printed onto the shell, holding legible detail on period-correct number and sponsor styling that used simpler, bolder graphics than later decades. Chrome trim around the windows and bumpers is picked out cleanly, an important detail for a period road-based racer where brightwork remained visible under the racing livery. Paint reads with the era-appropriate flat finish of a genuine period competition car.

An Early Milestone for a Racing History Collection

For collectors tracing Ickx's career chronologically, this Spa win predates his Ferrari and Porsche prototype eras by several years, making it a genuinely foundational piece. At 1:43, it sits well alongside other 1960s touring cars from the same period rather than modern race liveries. Keep the model out of strong light to preserve the printed period graphics over long-term display.
