About This Product:
At the 2025 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500, Andre Heimgartner raced to a magnificent podium finish in Race 29 on the streets of Surfers Paradise.
The Brad Jones Racing driver started from sixth on the grid and remained in touch with the front-runners throughout the gruelling 250km contest. Thanks to a combination of strong pace and smart strategy during his stints, the R&J Batteries Racing driver put himself in the perfect position when a late Safety Car was called. Heimgartner then had to fend off challengers from behind and even made a move for second place, ultimately crossing the line in third to secure a well-deserved podium.
Sporting the special R&J Batteries 30 Years branding on the doors, along with various other points of difference unique to the Gold Coast round, this high-detail 1:18 scale die-cast model features opening parts and exceptional finishing throughout. It is an exclusive edition, commissioned by the team for R&J Batteries, with production strictly limited to only 150 pieces worldwide.
With only a limited number available, we’re excited to have been granted permission to release a small allocation to collectors.
Due to the limited quantity available, this model will be offered exclusively via our website from 10am Perth, Australian Western Standard Time, Thursday 14 May 2026.
Stock is on hand and ready to ship from our warehouse, with a limit of 1 per customer.
Once sold out, it will not be reproduced — making it a unique point of difference for BJR, Heimgartner and Chevrolet Racing fans.
Don't miss it.
For Future Release Model Cars:
We have A LOT of future release model cars listed on this website and it's not uncommon for these items to take anywhere between 6-18 months to arrive.
If you're interested in ordering/buying these models then you usually have two options available to you:

If a model car is marked as a future release on our website then please enquire about placing a pre-order with your local model car / hobby stockist as soon as possible.
Please note, all stockists are seperate businesses to Authentic Collectables, we are suppliers to them. Each stockist has different ways of how they accept pre-orders for future release models.
