About the BMW 3.5 CSL E9 Gruppe 5 #4 J. Fitzpatrick / T. Walkinshaw Silverstone Winner 1976 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 3.5 CSL E9 Group 5 reproduces the #4 Silverstone-winning entry from 1976, driven by John Fitzpatrick and Tom Walkinshaw. Its exaggerated wings and spoilers, nicknamed the "Batmobile" package, remain among Group 5 touring car racing's most recognisable shapes.

Two of touring car racing's most respected names, Fitzpatrick and Walkinshaw, shared this particular CSL at a circuit British collectors know well.

Minichamps' Detail on the CSL's Aero Package

The CSL's roof spoiler, front air dam and rear wing earned it its nickname almost as soon as it appeared, and Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces every element of that aggressive aero kit with the precision the subject demands, since the wing and spoiler geometry is what makes a CSL instantly recognisable across the room. The #4 Silverstone livery is applied with sponsor graphics positioned to match period race photography, a Minichamps hallmark on its Group 5 range. Diecast construction opens the doors onto a stripped competition cabin, roll cage and all, reflecting the car's genuine racing specification rather than a road-going equivalent.

Group 5 Racing and a Home Victory for British Drivers

Group 5 touring car regulations of the mid-1970s permitted extensive aerodynamic modification, and the CSL exploited that freedom fully, becoming one of the category's dominant cars. A Silverstone victory carries particular resonance for British collectors, given the circuit's status in home motorsport history.

An Essential Piece for a Group 5 Collection

Paired with the companion Zeltweg-winning CSL from the same season, this Silverstone car helps build a genuine two-race snapshot of BMW's dominant 1976 Group 5 campaign.
