Full description
Add a memorable turbo-era Formula 1 winner to your collection with the MCG 1:18 Brabham BT52 No.5 Parmalat Riccardo Patrese Winner 1983 South African GP Diecast Model. This detailed replica represents the Brabham BT52 as raced by Riccardo Patrese to victory at the 1983 South African Grand Prix.
The Brabham BT52 is one of the most recognisable Formula 1 cars of the early 1980s, designed by Gordon Murray around BMW’s powerful turbocharged engine. With its sharp arrow-shaped profile, compact bodywork and iconic Parmalat livery, the BT52 became a standout car of the 1983 season and helped Brabham secure one of its most famous championship campaigns.
Patrese’s win at the 1983 South African Grand Prix gave the BT52 another important victory and closed the season in dramatic fashion. The race also played a key role in Brabham’s 1983 success story, as team-mate Nelson Piquet secured the Drivers’ World Championship that year.
Made by Model Car Group (MCG) in 1:18 scale, this diecast metal model with plastic parts measures approximately 25 cm long and features rollable wheels. It also comes presented on a race track inspired display base, making it ideal for showcasing in a Formula 1 or classic motorsport collection.
A great choice for Brabham fans, Riccardo Patrese collectors and enthusiasts of 1980s turbo-era Formula 1, this MCG BT52 is a distinctive addition to any racing model display.

Understanding Scale
The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.
