As the CMR models that we presented in the link embedded here, the label provides the miniatures on a diorama base, which gives the curbs a touch of racetrack.

The history of the prototype

The Porsche 917 - and the fans of this blog read recently - is the first prototype of the Stuttgart design department for racing car, which won the overall ranking of the 24 Hours of Le Mans; the first time in 1970. It is for this year also comes the Porsche 917 LH - Long tail - with the number 3, which has occupied the 2nd place at the end. The car is to have under item no CMR43004. Apparently everyone wanted to be sure that it necessarily Porsche wins one year after just missing out on overall victory 1969th The Team John Weyer Automotive sat three 917 with short tail - see triple set of Norev 1:18 - while Martini a 917 and a 908, respectively brought Langheck to Le Mans.

Porsche Austria came, each with a long and a short tail at the Sarthe and secured the overall victory finally by Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood. Herrmann had narrowly lost last year's race and declared after the 1970 edition its withdrawal from motorsport. The legendary red and white, also called Salzburg style of his winning car is still often used by Porsche for prototypes and show cars. Incidentally, the second-place 917 is now at the Simeone Museum in Philadelphia, as we can see, the above embedded video.
