This is the Mercedes Benz 300 SEL 6.8 #35 2nd 24h SPA Francorchamps 1971 in 1:18 scale by WERK83.
The Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8, entered by Team Mercedes-AMG with car number 35, made history at the 1971 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps by securing an unexpected 2nd-place finish. Driven by German racers Hans Heyer and Clemens Schickentanz, the massive luxury sedan—nicknamed the "Red Pig"—stunned the endurance racing world by competing against much lighter and more agile race cars. Despite its weight and size, the 6.8L V8-powered beast dominated the high-speed sections of Spa, proving AMG’s engineering brilliance. This race was a defining moment for AMG, marking its first major international success and paving the way for its future in motorsport and high-performance road cars.
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.
