About the BMW 635CSi E24 JPS Team BMW #62 J. Richards Australian Touring Car Champion 1985 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 635CSi E24 reproduces car #62, JPS Team BMW's title-winning entry driven by Jim Richards in the 1985 Australian Touring Car Championship. The black and gold JPS livery makes this one of touring car racing's most recognizable liveries.

Some racing liveries transcend the series that carried them, and the black and gold JPS scheme is one of them, instantly readable whether it wears a Formula 1 nose or a touring car's boxy flanks.

JPS Team BMW's Championship Season

John Player Special sponsorship brought its famous black and gold livery to BMW's Australian touring car effort in the mid-1980s, wrapping the boxy 635CSi coupe in a scheme better known from Lotus's Formula 1 cars a decade earlier. Jim Richards, one of Australian and New Zealand motorsport's most successful drivers across multiple disciplines and decades, drove the JPS-liveried BMW to the Australian Touring Car Championship in 1985, adding another title to a career built on remarkable longevity at the front of the field. The 635CSi's long-nosed E24 body, with its BMW-signature kidney grille and coupe roofline, made an unusually elegant shape for a touring car of its era, one that stood out against boxier rivals on Australian circuits.

Minichamps' Livery Craft on a Title-Winning Car

Minichamps built its motorsport reputation on liveries exactly like this one, where sponsor branding, number placement, and period detail all have to line up precisely to do the subject justice. The 635CSi's clean lines carry the JPS livery well at 1:18, and diecast construction gives the model genuine heft that suits a full-size touring car rather than a compact hatchback racer. For collectors of Australian touring car history, a correctly liveried championship car is a specific, dated record rather than a generic racing tribute.

A Landmark Livery in Any Collection

Whether displayed for the BMW, the JPS colors, or the championship itself, this 635CSi earns its place on reputation alone.
