About the Matra Simca MS670B #12 J-P. Beltoise / J-P. Jabouille / J-P. Jaussaud 24 Hours of Le Mans 1973 Minichamps 1:43
TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:43 diecast reproduces the #12 Matra Simca MS670B driven by Beltoise, Jabouille and Jaussaud at the 1973 24 Hours of Le Mans, part of Matra's dominant run of victories that decade. The body is a sealed one-piece casting. It is a used model, box showing traces of storage, casting itself intact.
Matra won Le Mans outright three years running in the early 1970s, and this MS670B entry sits at the heart of that streak, driven by a trio of French names who each went on to notable careers of their own.
Minichamps MS670B Casting and Livery
The MS670B's curved, open-top prototype body and distinctive blue French racing color give the casting a clean subject to work with at 1:43, where the low nose and sweeping rear deck need to hold their shape without softening into a generic prototype outline. Minichamps renders the car's roundels and number panel crisply, and the sealed body keeps the cockpit surround and engine cover scribed as fixed, precise details. Paint depth on the French racing blue reads evenly across the bodywork under direct light. This is a used example, its box showing traces of storage while the model itself carries no equivalent wear.
Matra's Le Mans Dominance
Matra's prototype program peaked between 1972 and 1974, when its cars won Le Mans three consecutive times, a run that made the French manufacturer's V12-powered prototypes among the most formidable of the era. Jean-Pierre Jabouille, one of this car's drivers, later moved into Formula One and became the first driver to win a Grand Prix with a turbocharged engine, giving this particular chassis a link to a broader chapter of motorsport history.
Collecting Matra's Championship Years
This model suits a French motorsport collection or one tracing Le Mans winners across the early 1970s, where Matra's consecutive victories form a distinct and compact chapter worth assembling in full.
