About the Porsche 917K #3 Martini V. Elford / G. van Lennep 12 Hours of Sebring Winner 1971 Eagles Race 1:18

TL;DR: Eagles Race's 1:18 diecast Porsche 917K #3 reproduces Vic Elford and Gijs van Lennep's Martini Racing entry from the 1971 12 Hours of Sebring. Diecast construction reproduces the bold white, dark blue, and red Martini stripes across the 917K's long, low prototype body.

Martini's racing colours turned up on some of the most storied prototypes of the era, and the 917K wore them as well as anything else. This diecast puts that specific Sebring entry on a display shelf.

Getting a Striking Livery Right in Diecast

Martini's stripes run diagonally across the body rather than sitting in flat panels, which asks more of a diecast producer's tampo printing than a simpler scheme would. Eagles Race's zinc alloy shell gives those stripes a consistent, even surface to register against, and the weight in hand reflects the substantial, purposeful shape of the real 917K rather than a lightweight toy. At 1:18, the car's genuinely long tail and wide rear haunches translate into real shelf presence, more so than most road cars at the same scale. Cockpit and mechanical detail sit at the level expected of production diecast, honest rather than boutique-precise, but for a livery this recognisable, getting the stripe geometry and colour balance correct is the detail that actually counts, and this model handles it well.

A Second Face of the 917K's Winning Seasons

Porsche fielded 917Ks through more than one team during the car's peak years, and Martini Racing's cars ran alongside the better-known Gulf entries as genuine, separate contenders rather than a backup effort. Elford and van Lennep were an established, capable pairing by 1971, part of the depth that made the 917K such a consistently strong endurance prototype across different liveries and different teams. Set beside a Gulf-liveried 917K from the same season, this Martini entry completes a two-livery display that captures how thoroughly the 917K dominated its era, regardless of which team's colours it wore that weekend.
