About the Matra Simca MS670B #12 J-P. Beltoise / J-P. Jabouille / J-P. Jaussaud 24 Hours of Le Mans 1973 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Matra Simca MS670B reproduces the #12 car from the 1973 24 Hours of Le Mans, driven by Beltoise, Jabouille and Jaussaud. The sealed body preserves the French prototype's open-air cockpit shape. This is a used model, its box showing traces of storage.

Matra's run of Le Mans success in the early 1970s remains a high point of French motorsport, and this MS670B replica documents one entry from that dominant era.

Casting a 1970s Sports Prototype

The MS670B's curved, open-cockpit bodywork suits a sealed one-piece casting, holding the flowing lines from nose to tail as a single continuous surface. Minichamps registers the French racing blue livery and sponsor graphics cleanly at this scale, and the exposed roll hoop behind the driver's position, a period safety feature, is cast with genuine relief rather than moulded flat. Zinc alloy construction gives the model a satisfying weight, and the exposed engine intakes at the rear are detailed with real depth, an important touch on a car whose visual identity depends heavily on its mechanical exposure.

Matra's Dominant Le Mans Era

Matra's prototype programme won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in consecutive years during the mid-1970s, a run that established the French manufacturer as one of the most formidable forces in top-class endurance racing of the period. Jean-Pierre Beltoise, Jean-Pierre Jabouille and Jean-Pierre Jaussaud, all established names in French motorsport, shared the #12 entry in the 1973 running, part of a strong Matra effort that season.

This is a used piece, and its box shows the traces of storage typical of a private collection; the casting itself is unaffected. Displayed alongside the sister #7 winning car from the same season, this model builds a two-car snapshot of Matra's most successful Le Mans campaign within a compact 1:43 footprint.
