About the Porsche 804 #30 D. Gurney French Grand Prix 1962 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Porsche 804 #30 reproduces Dan Gurney's 1962 French Grand Prix car, the race that gave Porsche its sole win as a constructor in Formula 1. This is a used model, box showing storage marks, casting unaffected. A rare piece of grand prix history for a Formula 1 shelf.

Porsche's Formula 1 constructor programme was brief, and the 804's single grand prix victory makes this AUTOart diecast a genuinely uncommon subject rather than a routine period single-seater.

AUTOart's Single-Seater Detailing and This Copy's Condition

The diecast body's zinc alloy construction lets AUTOart reproduce the 804's slender, air-cooled flat-eight engine cover and open cockpit with the fine detail a subject this old demands. Race number 30 and Porsche's period livery are applied crisply across the narrow bodywork, and any opening panels reveal engine and cockpit detail true to the car's genuinely spartan 1962 construction. This is a used model, and its outer box shows traces of storage rather than shop-fresh presentation, though the casting itself carries no such wear. For a car with this specific a place in motorsport history, the livery accuracy matters more than the box condition, and this piece delivers on that front.

Why the 804 Matters in Porsche's Racing Story

Dan Gurney's win in the 1962 French Grand Prix remains Porsche's only Formula 1 victory as a constructor building its own complete car, a distinction that separates it from the marque's later engine-supply successes. Displayed among other early 1960s single-seaters or Porsche's broader motorsport lineup, this model documents a short but genuinely significant chapter, giving a Formula 1 or Porsche collection a subject few rivals can match for historical specificity.
