About the BMW 2800 CS Team Schnitzer #10 J. Fitzpatrick / J. Peltier Spa 1972 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast BMW 2800 CS reproduces John Fitzpatrick and Jean-Pierre Peltier's Team Schnitzer #10 entry from the 1972 Spa 24 Hours. Elegant coupe proportions carrying period racing livery suit a historic BMW or endurance touring car display.

Schnitzer has been synonymous with BMW competition success for decades, and this 2800 CS entry from the early 1970s captures the team well before its later DTM and Le Mans exploits, when it was already building its reputation in touring car racing.

Elegant Coupe Lines Under Racing Livery

The 2800 CS's graceful, long-hood coupe shape sits somewhat at odds with its racing purpose, and that contrast is part of what makes this diecast interesting: Minichamps keeps the elegant roofline and slender pillars intact while applying period-accurate Schnitzer racing decals and the #10 board with sharp, clean registration. The endurance-racing context, Spa's punishing 24-hour format, meant these cars carried genuine mechanical stress despite their refined road-car origins, and the diecast's solid weight nods to that dual identity.

An Early Chapter in Schnitzer's Story

For anyone tracing Schnitzer's evolution from independent BMW specialist to factory-level competitor, this early 1970s Spa entry is a genuinely important starting point. It belongs naturally beside later Schnitzer-run BMWs from the team's DTM and touring car years.
