About the Opel Commodore A Steinmetz #74 J. Ragnotti / Thimonier Tour de France Automobile 1971 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Opel Commodore A recreates the Steinmetz #74 entry driven by a young Jean Ragnotti and Thimonier at the 1971 Tour de France Automobile. The sealed body carries the event livery in crisp, unbroken detail.

The Tour de France Automobile combined circuit racing, hillclimbs and long road stages into one demanding multi-day event, and Jean Ragnotti's later reputation as a rally legend makes this early Commodore entry a notable footnote in his long competitive career.

An Event Livery in Sealed Diecast

A multi-discipline event like the Tour de France Automobile carried distinctive event numbering and sponsor graphics, and this sealed one-piece casting keeps that livery running unbroken across the Commodore's boxy doors and bonnet. Zinc alloy diecast gives the model genuine weight at this scale, and the fixed-body construction favours the livery accuracy that makes this specific entry identifiable, prioritising that over interior access most collectors of this kind of historic piece would not expect regardless.

A Ragnotti Footnote for a Historic Collection

At roughly 22cm the model sits comfortably among other early-1970s European touring and rally cars. Displayed alongside other Steinmetz Commodore entries or early Ragnotti machinery, it adds a genuinely interesting historical thread to a broader Group racing display. The boxy bodywork's flat panels collect dust visibly, so an occasional soft-brush pass keeps the graphics looking clean.
