About the BMW 3.5 CSL E9 #5 S. Manhalter Winner Havirov International 1977 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This 1:18 Minichamps diecast reproduces S. Manhalter's winning BMW 3.5 CSL #5 from the 1977 Havirov International in Czechoslovakia. A rarely covered Eastern Bloc racing chapter, built in zinc alloy with the CSL's aero package and a period livery collectors outside the region seldom see reproduced.

Havirov sits well outside the usual Western European CSL story of Spa, Nurburgring, and Le Mans, which makes this entry a genuinely unusual find for a touring car collection.

Documenting a Corner of Touring Car History Rarely Modeled

Eastern Bloc racing during the 1970s ran largely apart from the Western European championships, and few diecast manufacturers bother researching liveries from events like Havirov International, held in what was then Czechoslovakia. Minichamps' willingness to reproduce this specific winning car speaks to how thoroughly the CSL range has been researched across its full 1:18 production run. The model carries the same construction standard as its Western-liveried siblings: a zinc alloy body with the CSL's full aero kit molded as distinct pieces, front splitter, roof fins, and rear wing, plus tampo-printed graphics that hold sharp edges on a livery few reference photos exist to check against. The opening doors reveal the stripped racing interior typical of the class.

A Winning Car From an Overlooked Circuit

S. Manhalter's win at Havirov International places this entry among the CSL's genuine race-winning chassis, even though the event itself carries far less name recognition than Spa or Le Mans. That obscurity is part of the appeal for collectors who specifically seek out the less-documented corners of touring car history rather than repeating the same well-known podium finishers already covered by every manufacturer.

This model suits a display built around touring car diversity or Eastern European motorsport specifically, and it stands apart from the Spa- and Le Mans-liveried CSLs that dominate most collections of this car.
