This is the Mercedes Benz W196 R Streamliner #18 J.M.Fangio Winner 1954 French GP in 1:43 scale by IXO.
Juan Manuel Fangio drove the Mercedes-Benz W196 R Streamliner #18 to victory at the 1954 French Grand Prix, marking the triumphant return of Mercedes-Benz to Grand Prix racing after a 15-year hiatus. The race, held at the high-speed Reims-Gueux circuit, perfectly suited the aerodynamically advanced Streamliner, which featured sleek bodywork designed for maximum efficiency on long straights. Fangio, a master tactician and future five-time world champion, dominated the race, leading a Mercedes 1-2 finish with Karl Kling. This event was unique as it showcased the debut of the W196, setting the stage for Mercedes’ dominance in the mid-1950s and cementing Fangio's legacy as one of the greatest drivers in motorsport history.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
