About the Opel Commodore A #29 J-L. Clarr / J-P. Peyroux Tour de France Automobile 1971 MCG 1:18

TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 diecast Opel Commodore A #29 reproduces the car driven by Clarr and Peyroux at the 1971 Tour de France Automobile, a gruelling multi-stage touring event combining circuit racing with road sections. Accessible diecast construction brings this documented subject to a historic touring shelf.

The Tour de France Automobile was unlike most single-format motorsport events, blending circuit races, hillclimbs, and long road transits into one demanding competition, and this Commodore A entry reflects the tough, versatile machinery that format required.

MCG's Diecast Approach to a Multi-Discipline Touring Subject

A car built for the Tour de France Automobile needed circuit-race durability and long-distance reliability in one package, and the Commodore A's sturdy coupe body suited that dual demand well in period. MCG's diecast reproduces the #29 livery with clean, legible number and sponsor graphics, important on a subject where documentation matters as much as overall finish quality. The build sits at an accessible diecast tier, a sensible choice for a niche historic touring subject that larger manufacturers have largely left uncovered.

A Distinct Format Within Historic Group Racing

Unlike rally stages or single-venue circuit races, the Tour de France Automobile tested cars and drivers across an unusually broad range of conditions within a single event, a format that rewarded genuinely well-rounded machinery over specialists built for one discipline. Set beside a pure rally Commodore or a circuit-only touring car from the same period, this entry tells a different competitive story, versatility rather than specialisation. For collectors building a Group Racing Historic display with real format variety, this piece adds a genuinely distinct chapter.
