BMW M1 Matchbox 1981 Matchbox Series 1:55 Racing Car 21 Loose White

The model depicts the racing version of the BMW M1, made as a metal diecast model with plastic parts. The body is finished in a white base colour with distinctive racing stripes in blue, black and red. The racing number 21 is visible on the sides and front of the body, emphasising the miniature's sporting character. The shape reproduces the low, wide body of a track car, with its characteristic wedge profile, short overhangs and strongly defined wheel arches. There is a large spoiler at the rear, and the doors can be opened, enhancing the model's display appeal. The windows, driver's cabin, basic front details and wheels suited to the vehicle's racing character are also visible. The length of approximately 79 mm corresponds to a scale of about 1:55. This example was produced in Macau in 1981 and is offered as a loose collectible model.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
