About the BMW 2000 Ti #17 J. Ickx / H. Hahne 24 Hours of Spa 1966 Winners Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 resin BMW 2000 Ti #17 recreates J. Ickx and H. Hahne's winning entry from the 1966 24 Hours of Spa. A follow-on piece to BMW's 1965 win, documenting the New Class sedans' repeated success at the same endurance event.
Winning at Spa once could be luck; winning again the following year, with a different New Class model, starts to look like a pattern BMW clearly understood how to repeat.
Resin Construction for a Repeat Race Winner
The 2000 Ti shares its upright, boxy New Class sedan silhouette with the earlier 1800 TiSA, and Minichamps' resin body renders that shape with the same clean, sealed panel lines that a decade-old touring car shape benefits from. Race number 17 and the 1966 livery are printed with sharp registration, an important detail since a period touring car's visual identity rests almost entirely on its race numbers and minimal sponsor marking rather than elaborate graphics. Resin's fixed-body construction suits a subject like this one well, since the real appeal is the correctly proportioned sedan silhouette and accurate livery rather than any interior detail a road-car collector might expect. Ickx's presence in the driver lineup connects this car directly to the same driver pairing that won the previous year's Spa race in the 1800 TiSA.
Building a Spa-Winning BMW Set
Displayed alongside the 1965-winning 1800 TiSA, this 2000 Ti tells a genuinely compelling two-year story: BMW's New Class sedans winning the same endurance event in consecutive seasons with overlapping driver talent. That kind of documented back-to-back success gives a small resin touring-car pairing real narrative weight on a shelf, more interesting than either car would be alone. For collectors specifically tracing BMW's pre-M motorsport era, these two Spa winners belong together.
