About the BMW 3.0 CSL E9 #4 Jolly Club Milano C. Finotto / C. Facetti Winners ETCC Zandvoort 1979 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 3.0 CSL #4 Jolly Club Milano reproduces the winning car from ETCC Zandvoort 1979, driven by Finotto and Facetti. A genuine race-winning subject from BMW's touring car dominance, built with the CSL's signature aero package in period Jolly Club colors.
A race winner carries different weight in a diecast collection than a mid-pack finisher, and this Jolly Club Milano CSL earned its place in scale by actually taking the checkered flag at Zandvoort in 1979.
Reproducing a Race-Winning Livery
Minichamps builds this CSL with the same attention to aero detail found across its touring car range, capturing the front air dam, roof fin, and rear wing that gave the chassis its "Batmobile" reputation. The Jolly Club Milano livery relies on tampo-printed sponsor branding and team colors that need sharp registration to read correctly at 1:18, and the zinc alloy build gives the model real weight befitting a genuine championship-caliber race car. Panel lines around the wheel arch flares, widened to accommodate racing tires, are worth examining closely, since this is where the CSL's transition from road car to touring car racer shows most visibly in scale.
Why This Zandvoort Win Matters
Finotto and Facetti's win at Zandvoort in 1979 came during the CSL's later, still-competitive seasons in European Touring Car Championship racing, a period when the car remained a serious threat despite facing newer competition. Jolly Club Milano was an established Italian racing outfit, and their success with the CSL reflects how widely competitive this BMW chassis remained across multiple seasons and teams throughout the decade.
Building a CSL Racing Collection
This win-specific livery pairs naturally with other CSL entries from the same championship years, letting a collector track how different teams and sponsors campaigned the same underlying chassis across a season. At 1:18, its documented race-winning result gives it a stronger narrative anchor than a generic entry, making it a worthwhile centerpiece for anyone building a focused 1970s ETCC display.
