About the Auto Union Typ C #18 B. Rosemeyer Internationales Eifelrennen Nürburgring Winner 1936 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast Auto Union Typ C reproduces Bernd Rosemeyer's winning car #18 from the 1936 Internationales Eifelrennen at the Nürburgring. Metal construction suits a pre-war Silver Arrows subject built around one of the era's most fearless drivers.

Rosemeyer's Nürburgring win in 1936 came in a car notorious for its unstable handling, a rear-engined design that punished lesser drivers and made his victories there part of Silver Arrows legend.

Diecast Reproduction of a Pre-War Silver Arrow

Minichamps casts the Typ C in metal, and its rear-engined, cigar-shaped body benefits from that diecast solidity, with the exposed suspension arms and narrow tyres of a genuine 1930s grand prix car reproduced without the panel breaks a body this simple would not need in any case. The bare aluminium finish, typical of the Silver Arrows before painted liveries became standard, is straightforward to reproduce accurately, and the number 18 and period detailing sit cleanly on the unadorned bodywork. There is little to hide behind on a subject this stripped-down, so surface accuracy carries the whole model.

Rosemeyer and the Eifelrennen's Place in Motorsport History

Rosemeyer's short career, cut tragically short in 1938, was built on exactly this kind of daring drive, taming a car other drivers found nearly undriveable to win at circuits like the Nürburgring's demanding Eifelrennen. The Auto Union Typ C's rear-engine layout was radical for its time, predating the same basic architecture that would not become standard in grand prix racing again for decades. For a pre-war motorsport shelf, this model represents one of the genuine landmark subjects of the period, pairing naturally with other Silver Arrows pieces from Mercedes-Benz's rival programme of the same era.
