Two Mazda 787B 1991 Le Mans 24 Hours Winner Models, Including Tamiya Kit
This lot offers two models celebrating the Mazda 787B, the Wankel-engined prototype that claimed a famous victory at the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans. Included is a Tamiya 1/24 scale kit, presented in its original box marked “1/24 Sports Car Series NO.112”, alongside a second display model in a clear acrylic case. The Tamiya box artwork shows the car in the distinctive orange, green and red Renown and Charge livery, with race number 55 prominently displayed. The Tamiya kit is noted for its detailed engine bay and interior, while the smaller display model captures the same bold graphics in a compact 1/43 style presentation labelled “24 Heures du Mans 1991”.
Condition, Originality and Collector Appeal
The Tamiya box shows general wear consistent with age and storage, with the outer card appearing clean and the artwork bright. The display model in the larger acrylic case sits on a black base and appears to be in good presentation order, while the smaller model sits in its own clear case with the 1991 date and race details legible. Contents of the Tamiya kit have not been verified, so bidders should consider the box as the principal item of interest. For enthusiasts of Japanese motorsport and endurance racing, this grouping offers an appealing mix of kit and finished display piece, both tied to one of Mazda’s most celebrated Le Mans achievements.
