About the BMW 700 Sport #64 Hulbusch / Stausberg 12 Hours of Nurburgring 1961 Minichamps 1:43
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast reproduces the #64 BMW 700 Sport driven by Hulbusch and Stausberg at the 1961 12 Hours of Nurburgring. The body is a sealed zinc casting. A foundational piece for a vintage German motorsport collection.
The BMW 700 helped rescue the company financially in the late 1950s, and its Sport variant found real success in GT competition, making this a meaningful piece of BMW's recovery-era history rather than just a footnote racer.
A Compact Casting from BMW's Recovery Era
The 700 Sport body is a sealed one-piece zinc casting, and Minichamps captures the small, rounded, rear-engined shape that made the 700 such an unusual competitor against larger GT machinery of its era. The #64 livery is tampo-printed onto the shell, holding legible period-correct number and sponsor detail on a car whose small size at 1:43 leaves little room for error in the printing. Chrome trim around the compact bumpers and window surrounds is picked out cleanly, an important detail on a car this size where brightwork carries much of the period character. Paint reads with the flat, functional finish typical of an actual 1960s competition entry.
A Nurburgring Piece for German Motorsport History
Collectors tracing BMW's competition history from its financially precarious late-1950s period into its later M-division success will find this a genuinely foundational piece. At 1:43, it fits naturally alongside other early-1960s Nurburgring entries from the same era. Keep the model out of strong light to preserve the printed period livery over long-term display.
