Buyer's Premium:

A Maisto die-cast model of the 1998 Porsche 911 GT1 racing car in Zakspeed Racing team livery, produced in 1:18 scale. The vehicle is finished in a green, white, and red colour scheme, featuring the race number 5 and the names of drivers S. Grau and A. Scheld on the side windows. The bodywork is decorated with numerous sponsorship decals including Warsteiner, HGF, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Pirelli, Veedol, Bilstein, and Nitec. The model is constructed from die-cast metal with plastic components and features a removable rear engine cover. This reveals a detailed plastic engine bay with simulated carbon fibre components, yellow coil springs, and cooling ducting. The car is mounted on its original black plastic display plinth, which includes a nameplate featuring the Maisto logo and model identification.


Condition report:

The model exhibits significant mechanical damage to the front nearside wheel assembly, which appears detached or sits at an incorrect angle, suggesting a broken axle or mounting point. Light surface dust is present across the bodywork and rubber-effect tyres. The removable rear engine cowl shows some light scuffing to the paintwork. The item is missing its original cardboard packaging and outer box. Sold as seen for parts or restoration.
