The black #42 BMW 3.5 CSL carries blue-and-red striping for the 1976 24 Hours of Le Mans. Its display base names Sam Posey, Hughes de Fierlant and Harald Grohs, while Bosch and Goodyear logos appear on the car.

Listed in new condition, this is a 1:32 analog Fly slot car shown in its clear case.

The BMW 3.5 CSL #42 is a legendary racing car that competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1976. The car was deployed by the team of BMW Motorsport / Alpina-Faltz and competed in the brutal Group 5 class.

Below you will find the most important details about this iconic racer:

Details of the Car

Survivor: The 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1976 was a wear and tear for the factory BMWs. Car #42 was the only official Group 5 CSL to reach the finish line. For example, the sister car (#43 with Dieter Quester) fell out in the 12th hour due to a motorcycle fire.

Appearance: In accordance with the Group 5 regulations, the car had extremely widened wheel arches and the characteristic giant rear wing (which gave the CSL the nickname "Batmobile"). Also typical were the side-pipe outlets that stuck out on the side.

Modeling & Slotcars
Because of the unique black Gitanes-livery, the #42 is a very popular collectible:

Slotcars (1:32): Released by brands such as Fly Slot Cars (under reference A683) and more recently by Racer Sideways.
Diecast & Resin Models (1:43): High-quality miniatures have been produced by Spark Models (also featured in the Hachette Le Mans series) and Atlas.
