About the Opel Commodore A Steinmetz #9 J. Haxhe / P. Toussaint 24 Hours of Spa 1970 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Opel Commodore A Steinmetz reproduces car #9, driven by Haxhe and Toussaint at the 1970 Spa 24 Hours on their home Belgian circuit. Zinc alloy construction and Steinmetz race livery capture a genuine privateer entry from European touring car racing's golden era.

Belgian drivers racing a Belgian-friendly track in a German-tuned car: the 1970 Spa 24 Hours had that kind of local flavor running through its entry list, and car #9 was part of it.

A Second Steinmetz Commodore in 1:18

Livery Number and Panel Registration

Minichamps applies the #9 door number and Steinmetz sponsor graphics with the same sharp registration seen across this racing program, distinguishing it clearly from the sister #11 entry through number placement and supporting decal detail rather than a repainted body. The Commodore A's long hood and flared arches are cast with consistent proportion, holding up under close comparison against other Group 2 touring cars of the period.

Shared Construction, Distinct Identity

Doors and hood open on functioning hinges, and the zinc alloy build gives this Commodore the same substantial hand-feel as its stablemate. The value here is in owning two distinct, correctly liveried entries from the same historic grid rather than two copies of an identical casting.

A Home Race for Belgian Privateers

Racing the Old Spa-Francorchamps Circuit

The 1970 Spa 24 Hours ran on the original 14-kilometer public-road circuit, a punishing layout of high-speed straights and blind crests that gave home drivers a genuine advantage through local knowledge. Steinmetz-prepared Commodores were regular fixtures there, competing against BMW and Ford entries in a touring car field that rewarded consistency over the full 24 hours as much as outright pace.

Haxhe and Toussaint's Local Entry

Drivers Haxhe and Toussaint campaigned car #9 on circuit that, for them, was effectively a home race, part of the deep field of privateer Belgian and French entries that filled out the grid behind the factory-supported efforts of the period.

Building a Complete Spa Grid

The real value of this model shows up alongside its sister car. At roughly 22 centimeters, both Commodores share the same sedan-based footprint, making a paired display straightforward to plan in a standard cabinet row. Compare the sponsor decal placement and number-plate styling between the two cars to see how privateer teams distinguished themselves even while sharing a chassis and a tuning partner. For a collector building out 1970s European touring car racing rather than just its headline factory teams, owning both Steinmetz Commodores from this single race tells a more complete story than either car alone.
