About the Ecurie Bleue Delahaye Type 145 V12 R. Dreyfus Coupe du Million Montlhery 1937 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast Delahaye Type 145 V12 reproduces Rene Dreyfus's Ecurie Bleue winner from the 1937 Coupe du Million at Montlhery, a race staged specifically to challenge the dominant German teams. A finely detailed pre-war French racer.

The Coupe du Million offered a huge cash prize purely to lure a French car under a demanding average speed target, and Rene Dreyfus's Delahaye Type 145 delivered exactly that, a rare French victory over the German Grand Prix teams during their most dominant period.

Minichamps' Precision on a Streamlined Pre-War Racer

The Type 145's long, flowing bonnet and cycle-wing fenders demand careful surfacing, and Minichamps' tooling holds that shape with genuine period accuracy, capturing the V12 engine's long proportions ahead of the cockpit. The blue livery associated with Ecurie Bleue carries real depth, and fine details like the exposed exhaust piping and wire wheels are picked out with the attention this manufacturer typically reserves for its most historically significant subjects. The model's substantial metal weight and tight panel definition reflect Minichamps' established specialism in pre-war Grand Prix and hillclimb machinery.

A Documented Victory for a Pre-War Collection

Because the Coupe du Million's result is well documented and the prize itself was a genuine, headline event of 1937, this Delahaye carries real historical substance rather than a generic period racer's paint scheme. Displayed alongside contemporary Auto Union or Mercedes Grand Prix machinery, it tells the story of French motorsport pride pushing back, even briefly, against German dominance.
