TL;DR: Regional touring series scale models cover BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Nissan, Chevrolet, Citroen, Fiat and Mercury racing liveries from the 1960s to the 2000s, in 1:18, 1:43 and 1:24 diecast and resin. Minichamps, AUTOart, IXO, Auto World and Otto carry the coverage.

Regional touring series scale models capture the moment an ordinary saloon becomes a competition machine. BMW, Mercedes and Audi all fielded serious touring car campaigns across different decades and regions, and each left behind a distinct catalogue of liveries worth chasing.

Regional Touring Series Scale Models Across Manufacturer Tiers

Minichamps and AUTOart lead the sharper end of touring car coverage, both bringing motorsport-grade livery accuracy to their diecast work. IXO's broad resin and diecast catalogue fills in season and manufacturer gaps that larger producers skip, while Auto World brings an American touring flavour with its own regional coverage. Otto extends the range with its sealed-resin approach for selected subjects.

  • BMW and Mercedes: long-running, well-documented touring car campaigns.
  • Audi and Nissan: strong entries with distinct regional followings.
  • Chevrolet, Citroen, Fiat and Mercury: broader international touring coverage.

Four Decades of Saloon Car Racing

Coverage spanning the 1960s through the 2000s means this category can trace touring car racing from its early saloon-based roots through to the more heavily developed factory campaigns of later decades. Because manufacturers frequently changed liveries season to season for sponsorship reasons, even a single marque supports a genuinely varied run of colour schemes.

Building a Touring Car Collection

A season-by-season approach for one marque works particularly well in 1:43, where livery variety across successive years can be displayed comprehensively. 1:18 and 1:24 suit collectors wanting a smaller number of hero touring cars with more visible cockpit and roll-cage detail.
