Porsche 917 Spyder Team Imola 6° Interserie 1971 Jurgen Neuhaus in 1:43 scale
This is the Porsche 917 Spyder Team Imola 6° Interserie 1971 Jurgen Neuhaus in 1:43 scale by Tecnomodel.
In the 2 May 1971 Interserie race at Imola (Coppa di Shell), Jürgen Neuhaus piloted a striking yellow-and-red Porsche 917 Spyder (chassis 026), running under his own banner. Despite qualifying 6th on the grid with a lap of 1:36.300. Unfortunately, the race ended in disappointment for Neuhaus: the car retired early due to oil pressure trouble. Neuhaus was a seasoned German privateer, and his 917 Spyder was part of the then-wild Group 7 specification machinery, in a series that (in 1971) featured open-top, very high-powered cars, effectively a European counterpart to Can-Am. What sets the 1971 Interserie apart is exactly that — it allowed extremely unrestrained machinery like the 917 in Spyder form, making for some of the most extreme and exotic sports racing on European circuits.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
