Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Porsche 904 GTS carries the #45 livery driven by Ben Pon and Koch at the 1964 1000km Nurburgring. A genuine period entry for a Porsche endurance racing display.
About the Porsche 904 GTS #45 B. Pon / Koch 1000km Nurburgring 1964 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast Porsche 904 GTS reproduces the #45 car driven by Ben Pon and Koch at the 1964 1000km Nurburgring. Diecast metal construction and a genuine period entry give this piece real standing in a Porsche endurance racing collection.
Ben Pon's name carries real weight in Porsche's own history, and seeing it on a 904 competing at the Nurburgring adds a genuinely personal connection to an already significant car.
A 1964 Entry with Real Provenance
The 1000km Nurburgring was a fixture of the mid-1960s World Sportscar Championship, run over the demanding Nordschleife and Grand Prix circuit combination, and Porsche used the 904 GTS extensively across events of this kind to prove the car's dual road-and-race credentials. Ben Pon, closely tied to Porsche's own commercial history in the Netherlands, sharing the #45 car with Koch, gives this specific entry a personal thread that connects the marque's competition programme to the people who helped build its reputation off the track as well as on it. That combination of a demanding circuit and a genuinely notable driver pairing gives this livery real weight within Porsche's broader 1960s competition story.
Diecast Precision for a Documented Entry
At 1:18, this 904 shares the model's compact roughly 20-21cm footprint, its low, purposeful coupe shape unchanged from other examples in the range. Minichamps' diecast metal build keeps the race number and livery detailing sharp against the paintwork, the solid construction giving the finish genuine depth under close inspection. Opening doors remain typical here, showing the stripped racing cockpit beneath. For a collector tracking the 904's full 1964 competition season, this Nurburgring entry sits naturally alongside its Le Mans sister car.
