Chaparral 2D made by Minichamps P/N: 436 661407 s/n: 1051 of 9999 and modified by me to represent the 1967 2D with the big engine (see "1/43 collection of transformed and restaured models for more details). Changes included the inclusion of an inlet to do oil refilling with an opening on the cover close to the rear left wheel, additional side inlet openings on both central rear fenders, removal of the periscope mirror above the driver and inclusion of a large rear air deflector that extend to the rear side fenders; also redo the front and the rear ends.

I think John Simons of Marsh got the rear of the 1967 2D a bit wrong. The color of the rear panel was white, not black.
