AUTOart 1971 Porsche 908/03 Being Produced!

autoart 1/18 1971 diecast model car PORSCHE 908/03 NURBERGRING BELL SIFFERT The Porsche 908/03 No. 2 driven by Jo Siffert and Derek Bell may have shown up to the 1000 km. race at Nurburgring on May 30th, 1971 a little ill-prepared. The team abandoned the car after only seven laps into the eight race of the '71 season following chassis complications, allowing Siffert to jump into the No.1 car with Pedro Rodríguez and Jackie Oliver and finish in second place.

This model along with a Brian Redman - Joseph Siffert No. 7 car as driven in the seventh race at Targa Florio will be produced as Gulf livery in 1/18 diecast. Any Gulf Porsche is coveted, but developing the 908/03 line will add spice and variety to any race collection. AUTOart Model No. 87174 is the No. 7 car and 87173 is the No. 2. Expected release dates are still unclear.
