Included in this auction are 2 R8C "coupe" Audi LeMans race cars from Minichamps, in Audi Dealer and Minichamps packaging. This set includes both the #9 and very rare #10 cars. The Audi R8R was a Le Mans Prototype built by Audi for the 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans, and a predecessor to the dominant Audi R8 which debuted in 2000. It was raced alongside the #7 and #8 British-built open-cockpit Audi R8R (available in another auction).
If you're into Audi race cars, make sure you check out my other auctions as I will be listing ALL of my personal collection of Minichamps Audis and Porsches over the next few weeks.
I'm not sure why, but these cars and cases have been in storage for many years and seem to show some signs of slight yellowing on the packaging even though they were not exposed to sunlight. The models are beautiful and perfect, but the boxes are not, just so you are aware. They were stored in a black plastic storage container, so it's odd the boxes have yellowed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
