About the Opel Vectra B #4 U. Alzen Team Holzer STW 1998 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Opel Vectra B #4 reproduces Uwe Alzen's 1998 Team Holzer entry in the German Super Tourenwagen Cup. The compact diecast build carries an accurate late-1990s STW livery, suiting a collector focused on that series' closing seasons.

The Super Tourenwagen Cup ran some of the sharpest touring car racing Germany produced in the 1990s, and this Vectra B documents one entry from near the series' end, before its regulations gave way to what became DTM's modern era.

Diecast Livery Work on a Late-1990s STW Entry

STW liveries carried heavy sponsor graphics across nearly every panel, and Minichamps reproduces that density accurately rather than simplifying it for a smaller scale. Team Holzer's colors and the #4 number sit exactly where period photographs show them, and the diecast build gives the small model a solid weight that a promotional plastic toy from the same era never had. The Vectra B's boxy, mid-1990s sedan silhouette is preserved faithfully rather than smoothed toward a more modern shape, which matters for collectors who want the car as it actually raced.

Uwe Alzen and the STW Cup's Final Seasons

Uwe Alzen built a long career across German touring and GT racing, and his STW entries document a period when manufacturer-backed touring car competition in Germany was at its most intense. By 1998 the series was winding toward its conclusion, making liveries from that final stretch a specific, dateable piece of German motorsport history rather than a generic touring car shape.

This model suits a shelf built around 1990s German touring cars, sitting naturally beside contemporaries from BMW and Mercedes that ran the same series. It documents a specific season rather than a placeholder livery.
