About the Opel Rekord C #201 Black Widow MCG 1:18
TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 diecast Opel Rekord C #201, the Black Widow touring livery, reproduces a period German racing entry from the late 1960s. Mid-tier diecast construction gives this genuinely niche Opel touring-car subject clean panel fit and confident proportions.
The Rekord C rarely gets attention as a racing car outside German touring-car circles, which is exactly why the Black Widow livery makes such a distinctive find for the right collector.
A Mid-Tier Diecast Built for a Racing Subject
MCG's touring and rally focus suits the Rekord C well, and the diecast build reflects that specialization with tighter shut lines than entry-tier work and a livery applied with clean, defined edges rather than a soft print. The #201 racing graphics sit crisply against the body, and the Rekord's boxy, upright sedan proportions come through clearly, a shape distinct from the sleeker European racers more commonly reproduced. No opening features are needed here to make the case, since the livery itself carries the visual interest.
A Touring Sedan Turned Racing Entry
Opel's Rekord C, produced from 1966 to 1971, was primarily a family sedan, but period touring-car competition in Germany saw privately entered and factory-supported Rekords racing under distinctive liveries, the Black Widow scheme among them. That competition history gives an otherwise ordinary sedan a genuine motorsport identity worth documenting.
A Distinctive Entry for a German Touring-Car Shelf
For a collector focused on German touring-car history specifically, this Rekord fills a gap that better-known BMW and Mercedes entries from the same era do not cover on their own.
