BMW 2002 TII #24 1969 Rally Monte-Carlo Makinen/Easter in 1:18 scale
This is the BMW 2002 TII #24 1969 Rally Monte-Carlo Makinen/Easter in 1:18 scale by Solido.
At the 1969 Rallye Monte‑Carlo, the BMW 2002 tii #24 was driven by Timo Mäkinen with co‑driver Henry Easter, tackling one of the most iconic and demanding events on the rally calendar in a humble yet capable two‑door German sedan. Mäkinen — already a multiple Monte‑Carlo winner in Minis and later a four‑time world rally champion — showcased his legendary car control and gravel‑to‑tarmac adaptability by keeping the lightweight, high‑revving 2002 tii competitive through icy mountain passes, snow‑covered roads, and the often‑unpredictable weather that defines this rally. What set the Monte‑Carlo Rally apart from many other races at the time — and still does today — was its unique mixture of road surfaces, elevation changes, and sudden grip shifts, requiring precise pace notes, expert tyre choices, and fearless driving over public roads closed for competition, rather than the closed circuit or simple stage formats typical of other motorsport events.
This exquisite model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish.
Other features include:
• Opening Doors
• Accurate and highly detailed Interior
• Accuracy of scale and exterior shape
