About the Porsche 904 GTS #45 B. Pon / Koch 1000km Nurburgring 1964 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Porsche 904 GTS #45 reproduces Ben Pon and Koch's entry at the 1964 1000km Nürburgring, run on the circuit's full-length original layout before later reconfigurations. Opening doors and tampo-printed race graphics document a genuine endurance campaign separate from the marque's Le Mans effort the same season.

The Nürburgring's original full-length circuit tested endurance cars differently than Le Mans did, and Ben Pon's 904 entry that same 1964 season shows Porsche's multi-front racing effort beyond its more famous French outing.

A Different Kind of Endurance Test

The 1000km Nürburgring ran on the circuit's demanding original configuration, a layout with far more corners and elevation change packed into each lap than Le Mans offered, punishing suspension and driver concentration in a fundamentally different way than a high-speed circuit like the Sarthe. Ben Pon, a name closely tied to Volkswagen and Porsche's early importing history in the Netherlands, drove this #45 entry alongside co-driver Koch, part of the broader field of privateer and semi-factory Porsche 904s that contested European endurance rounds throughout the 1964 season. Running the same basic 904 platform across such different circuit characters, from Le Mans' long straights to the Nürburgring's technical demands, showed just how versatile Porsche's homologated GT racer actually was. This #45 livery documents that specific round rather than a generalized racing scheme, giving it standalone historical value for collectors who follow the 904's full competition season.

Minichamps' Diecast Build

This 904 carries the same fiberglass-inspired flat bodywork and functioning door hinges found across Minichamps' 904 range, with tampo-printed race numbers and sponsor graphics specific to the Pon/Koch entry, holding sharper detail than adhesive decals at this scale. The cockpit reflects genuine racing specification rather than a road car's cabin, and the wheel and tire package matches the endurance-tuned setup the 904 ran through this era. Panel gaps stay tight for a diecast with opening parts, and the model's proportions capture the 904's genuinely distinctive low, flat-surfaced silhouette.

A Parallel Campaign Worth Collecting

Collecting this #45 alongside the #35 Le Mans entry from the same 904 season builds a genuine picture of Porsche's parallel endurance-racing campaigns in 1964, a stronger display than either livery alone.
