About the Mercedes C-Class W204 #11 Team Persson A. Margaritis DTM 2006 Minichamps 1:43
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Mercedes C-Class W204 #11 carries Alexandros Margaritis's Team Persson livery from the 2006 DTM season, built as a sealed one-piece body. A W204-generation entry documenting Persson's continued Mercedes touring car partnership that year.
Team Persson ran multiple Mercedes DTM entries through the mid-2000s, and this Margaritis livery represents one thread of that squad's ongoing factory-affiliated program.
Sealed-Body Diecast Detail on This W204 Touring Car
This casting has no opening doors or hood, so the W204's DTM-spec flared arches and aggressive aerodynamic bodywork read as one continuous shape, molded directly into the shell rather than relying on hinged detail. Zinc alloy construction gives the small-scale model real weight, and the Team Persson livery prints with clean registration across the doors and hood, sized appropriately for 1:43 scale. The correct DTM-era wide fenders and low ride height are captured accurately in the base casting, giving the model the purposeful stance distinct from any road-going C-Class.
Margaritis and Team Persson in 2006
By 2006, the W204-generation C-Class had become Mercedes' current DTM platform, and Team Persson remained one of the established squads running that machinery. Margaritis's entry that season adds to a collection built around Persson's continued Mercedes partnership, distinct from the earlier 2006 Persson-liveried W203 entry also documented in this era. For collectors tracking specific teams across multiple driver liveries and chassis generations, this piece adds another data point to that structure.
Placing This Model in a DTM Collection
This car pairs naturally with other 2006-season Team Persson liveries, letting a collector build out that specific team's full driver lineup for the year. Because the body is sealed, it handles well without hinge concerns, a practical benefit for a compact 1:43 piece likely to share shelf space with several similar touring cars. Its team-specific subject matter fits well within a broader Mercedes DTM display organized by squad.
