About the BMW 3.0 CSL E9 #23 Faltz Alpina A. de Fierlant / H. Grohs Zandvoort Trophy 1975 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 3.0 CSL #23 recreates the Faltz Alpina entry from the 1975 Zandvoort Trophy, driven by de Fierlant and Grohs. The livery reflects Alpina's involvement in CSL touring car preparation, a documented result for collectors tracking Alpina-tuned BMW racing.
Alpina's relationship with BMW ran deep in the 1970s, tuning and preparing CSL entries for touring car competition across Europe, and the Zandvoort Trophy gave privateer and semi-factory Alpina cars a chance to compete on Dutch soil against other CSL variants.
Alpina Livery Detail in Diecast Form
Minichamps' zinc-alloy build gives this CSL real presence, with the Faltz Alpina sponsor markings and car number 23 reproduced through tampo printing rather than simplified decals. The CSL's slab-sided, boxy coupe shape carries through accurately, and the Alpina-specific livery treatment, distinct from BMW's own factory team colors, offers useful visual contrast for collectors tracking how different teams dressed the same base chassis. Panel gaps stay consistent, and the overall build quality matches Minichamps' established standard for historic touring car subjects from this era.
Tracking Alpina's Role in CSL Racing History
At roughly 24cm, this model shares shelf requirements with other CSL liveries from the period, and displaying it alongside factory BMW Motorsport entries highlights the difference between works and Alpina-prepared cars during the same racing seasons. The Zandvoort Trophy result adds a specific, documented data point for collectors building a comprehensive CSL racing history rather than relying on generic road-car tributes. Alpina's tuning pedigree carries its own collector following distinct from mainstream BMW interest, and this piece serves that specific niche well. For anyone assembling a season-by-season CSL competition timeline, this Zandvoort entry fills a genuine gap.
