Opel Manta GT #121 2023 24h Nürburgring in 1:18 scale
This is the Opel Manta GT #121 2023 24h Nürburgring in 1:18 scale by WERK83.
At the 2023 24 Hours of Nürburgring, the iconic #121 Opel Manta GT, affectionately known as the "Manta with the Fox Tail," made a triumphant return after a devastating fire in 2022 nearly ended its racing legacy. Team owner Hans-Olaf Beckmann, alongside co-drivers Peter Hass, Jürgen Schulten, and Volker Strycek, painstakingly rebuilt the car over nine months, restoring it from a bare chassis to race-ready condition. Despite being one of the oldest teams on the grid, with an average age of 63.5 years, they competed fiercely in the SP3 class, showcasing the enduring spirit of grassroots motorsport. The Manta's comeback was not just a technical achievement but also a heartfelt story of resilience and passion, resonating deeply with fans and fellow competitors alike.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
