About the Opel Commodore A #7 N. Joossens / J. Marshall Steinmetz 24 Hours of Spa 1972 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Opel Commodore A reproduces the Steinmetz-prepared #7 car driven by Joossens and Marshall at the 1972 24 Hours of Spa. Diecast construction gives this touring car saloon real presence beside its better-known German rivals.

Opel's Commodore rarely gets the same attention as BMW's coupés from the same era, yet Steinmetz-prepared examples were genuine competitors on the same European touring car grids.

Diecast Detail on a Steinmetz-Prepared Saloon

This Commodore A's diecast body carries the boxy, upright saloon proportions typical of early 1970s European touring cars, distinct from the sleeker coupé shapes more commonly reproduced from this period. The Steinmetz livery, along with the #7 racing number and period sponsor graphics, is applied with clean tampo printing that keeps the detailing sharp despite the car's relatively plain bodywork compared with flashier works entries. The model's weight and finish match the standard collectors expect from Minichamps' diecast touring car range, giving this lesser-reproduced subject the same production quality as its more famous contemporaries.

Joossens, Marshall and a Long-Distance Spa Entry

Steinmetz built a strong reputation tuning and racing Opel saloons through the early 1970s, giving the marque a genuine presence in European touring car events that BMW and Ford more often dominated in the history books. This #7 Commodore, driven by Joossens and Marshall, competed in the demanding 24 Hours of Spa, an event that rewarded consistency over a single lap of outright pace. That combination of underdog marque and gruelling endurance format is what gives this particular entry its interest.

For a Group Racing Historic display, this Commodore adds a marque collectors rarely see reproduced, broadening a touring car shelf beyond the usual names.
