About the BMW 2002 Autohaus Speidel #68 K. Obermoser Preis der Nationen Hockenheim 1970 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 2002 reproduces Autohaus Speidel's #68 entry, driven by K. Obermoser at the 1970 Preis der Nationen at Hockenheim. A privateer touring car livery that broadens a BMW 2002 collection beyond the factory-backed cars.
Privateer entries filled out the grids that made 1970s German touring car racing so competitive, and Autohaus Speidel's 2002 represents that grassroots side of the sport.
A Privateer Livery Rendered With Period Care
Independent team liveries of the era often relied on dealership sponsorship rather than factory graphics, and Minichamps captures Autohaus Speidel's branding across the 2002's compact body with the same tampo precision as its factory counterparts. The zinc alloy construction gives the small car real weight in hand, and the roll cage visible through the window glazing signals genuine competition preparation rather than a road-car repaint. At roughly 20cm in 1:18, the 2002 keeps a compact footprint that suits a densely packed touring car shelf.
Rounding Out a 2002 Racing Collection
Hockenheim's Preis der Nationen was a fixture on the German touring car calendar, drawing both works and privateer entries, and a car like this #68 Speidel entry fills in the grid depth that a collection of only factory liveries would miss. Pairing this piece with works BMW 2002 entries from the same era tells the fuller story of how competitive and crowded 1970s German touring car racing actually was. For collectors who value grid completeness as much as headline results, this privateer entry earns its place.
