This is the Mercedes Benz300 SEL 6.8 #38 1971 Hockenheim Hans Heyer in 1:18 scale by Werk83.
The Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8 Team Hannen Alt No.38, driven by Hans Heyer, competed at Hockenheim in 1971, showcasing the brute power and unexpected agility of this massive luxury sedan-turned-race car. What made this vehicle stand out was its 6.8-liter V8 engine, producing around 428 horsepower—an incredible output for a car originally designed for comfort rather than racing. Hans Heyer, a charismatic and skilled German driver, was known for his aggressive driving style, making him the perfect match for this high-performance sedan. The 1971 Hockenheim race was unique as it highlighted the unconventional presence of the 300 SEL 6.8, a full-sized luxury car competing successfully against smaller, lighter race cars. Its success, along with AMG’s modifications, helped lay the foundation for Mercedes-AMG’s future dominance in motorsport.
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.
