Get your hands on a Jorge Lorenzo replica
If you’re a fan or Jorge Lorenzo, or indeed Yamaha, then you’ll be pleased to learn you can get your hands on an exclusive signed diecast replica.
Luckily, we’re not talking about a model of the rider himself! Instead, it’s a Minichamps 1:12 replica of the 2009 Yamaha YZR-M1 that Lorenzo rode at the Estoril MotoGP meeting in that year. All the Yamahas were sporting a very fetching one-off colour scheme designed to promote their new sponsor – the Fiat Evo Punto.
Lorenzo won the Estoril race (as he has done each time he’s raced there as a MotoGP contender), and was also sporting his now-famous Moon helmet and race suit, so this is a great opportunity to get your hands on a piece of MotoGP history. The model is very rare – limited to only 170 pieces, a really small number for a Minichamps replica.
If that’s not enough for you, there’s an even rarer number of models that are signed by the Spaniard himself. Yes, GP Legends have got their hands on 200 hand signed replicas which are currently winging their way towards the UK and will shortly be ready to dispatch.
If you fancy getting your hands on one of these brilliant replicas, you can visit the GP Legends site for prices and details.
