NOTE:
- Photos of duplicate diecasts are perfectly fine
- LM Cars that did not qualify (DNQ) for which there was a diecast made is acceptable
- If you're able to provide some info with your post relating to the drivers and placement in the race outcome, all the better. Here is a good weblink for historical Le Mans info

It was driven by Mario & Michael Andretti and Philippe Alliot. The model was released in 2002 (#180-83621), and lately I have seen more of the Rothmans car then this one.

Mike, I would say it is as hard to find as any old release by Minichamps. I don't see them very often but I wouldn't say they're rare, far from that. And when they do show up it's usually for a good price.
