Sorry Steve, It's the best I can do right now!
It looks just right with the '73 RSR 2.8 on 1 side and '76 934 on the other.
If you can't have the real thing this is the next best thing!
later

Ilko, Can you tell me who makes the cars?
The only ones I know of are the Vitesse. Definitely not the same quality as MINICHAMPS.

The only cup-cars I've seen are from Minichamps or Vitesse. The Vitesse versions look pretty chunky and poor but you can still find them here and there. The Minichamps are better but more rare today. the Mikan Häkkinen car is a new edition, released some months ago. I have one from Minichamps at home and it's the Roock-racing team from the -93 season.

The ones I have are from Vitesse. As Thomas said, quality isn't great, but they are Matchbox sized, so I don't really care. I'll snap some pics today at the office.
