Carrera DIGITAL 124 BMW M1 Procar 'Procar 1979 - Team Winkelhock Local Phone Book'


Item No.: 23855 Just in time

for Easter Carrera , 2 is putting two "colorful eggs" on a 1:24 scale in our basket.
Local phone book… for the younger Carrera risti, rest assured, such a thing actually exists. A non-digital reference book organized alphabetically—you have to flip through the pages manually ;-)—while today it’s mostly found only in post offices, it used to sit next to every home phone and in the yellow phone booths.
The vehicle is painted yellow, the signature color of the former state-owned company Deutsche Post, and is highly recognizable on the track. It stands out very well from previous M1 variants and, thanks to its high distinguishability, can be driven alongside other M1s in racing without any issues. This model is likely the car Manfred Winkelhock drove to third place at the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort. Car No. 81 also competed in the Italian Grand Prix but retired from that race; at the race in Zeltweg, Austria, it finished in 5th place.
Car No. 81 can also be seen sporting the local phone book at the race at the Hockenheimring.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYQkFHwHGQw(Starting at 0:11... but you should really watch the whole thing
