Porsche 356A #162 1954 Carrera Panamericana Manfredo Lippmann in 1:18 scale
This is the Porsche 356A #162 1954 Carrera Panamericana Manfredo Lippmann in 1:18 scale by BBR.
The driver of this car was Manfredo Lippmann, a pioneer of Porsche racing in Central America. Unfortunately, his race in 1953 was short-lived; the car retired following an accident during the early stages of the grueling 3,000 km journey. Despite the crash, Lippmann remained a key figure in the Porsche community, later becoming one of the most famous collectors and racers in the region.
Car #162 typically featured a white paint scheme, adorned with the Asociación Guatemalteca lettering and the numbers in a bold, high-visibility font.
Carrera Panamericana is a legendary Mexican border-to-border race. This race was so significant for Porsche that they later adopted the "Carrera" name for their highest-performing engines and models.
For races like the Panamericana, these cars were stripped of excess weight and fitted with leather straps on the front trunk, stone guards over the headlights, and reinforced suspension to handle the brutal Mexican roads.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. BBR models are
known for their accuracy of scale, shape and detail throughout the industry. Each model is created using
a variety of production processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite
material referred to in the industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and
waterslide decals are often used for the most authentic replication.
BBR models are usually produced in very small production quantities that often sell out at "pre-order"
