Model Description

Comments

I think this must have been a gift, as I’m not much of a BMW fan, however, it was a good kit to build, and came complete with ALL the cables & hoses (some now fractured) for a well detailed model, so there’s no extra bits added.

(“After Market” parts didn’t really exist in the ’80’s.)

All hand painted, then decals (which were quite brittle at the time), then a ‘clear’ coat of Humbrol, hence it’s not so much white, but cream. A very BIG model! ”

Notice the list of drivers for some very familiar names!

Sold by BMW to Vasek Polak, Hermosa Beach, California, and then sold by his estate to Rug Cunningham in 1997. (The grassy picture in the album)

The list of drivers include Hans Stuck, Sam Posey, Ronnie Peterson, Brian Redman, Allen Moffitt, Jody Schecter, George Follmer, and Rug Cunningham.
