VW Golf "Danone"

The Avant Slot VW Golf "Danone": an iconic decoration of touring motorsport

The AV51904 reference from Avant Slot brings to scale one of the most recognisable decoration sets in the history of touring motorsport in Spain: the VW Golf sponsored by Danone that was driven by Fermín Vélez. A car that, beyond its sporting results, is etched in the memory of fans due to its striking white and blue livery characteristic of the dairy sponsor.

Features and highlights

• Body: Competition VW Golf in 1:32 scale, with a faithful reproduction of the original "Danone" decoration.
• Manufacturing: Avant Slot, a leading Spanish brand in the production of resin slot cars and high-end detailed bodies.
• Reference: AV51904.
• Finishes: Screen-printed decoration with vivid colours, lettering and sponsors reproduced with historical accuracy.

Scale and level of detail

Avant Slot is known in the sector for the level of detail in its resin bodies, a material that allows for reproductions with greater finesse than conventional injected plastic. In this "Danone" Golf, the care taken in representing the race numbers, sponsor logos, and the colour distribution of the livery is evident, elements that the most discerning collectors particularly value.

Track performance

As a model from Avant Slot, the car is designed for both display enjoyment and running on track. Compatibility with the most common track systems — Scalextric, Ninco, Carrera — allows it to be integrated into most home and club setups without complications. Its chassis and guide are sized to provide stable track performance, suitable for recreational sessions and for those starting to explore higher-detail slot racing.

Ideal for…

• Collectors of historic touring cars and emblematic liveries of Spanish motorsport.
• Slot enthusiasts looking for pieces with a story behind the decoration.
• Followers of Fermín Vélez's career in national competition.
• Those wanting to add cars from the golden era of Spanish touring to their collection.

Aspects to consider

As with any Avant Slot model, we recommend checking the condition of the braids and guide before the first track session, and applying a light lubrication on the axles to ensure the best running from the outset. If you have questions about compatibility with your track, feel free to consult us.

Fermín Vélez and the Golf "Danone": the story of a memorable decoration

Fermín Vélez is one of the most versatile Spanish drivers of his generation. A native of Córdoba, he developed a long career in various disciplines: Formula 3, Formula 3000, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Spanish Touring Car Championship, where he achieved some of his most popular results among the national audience.

The VW Golf sponsored by Danone represents one of the most endearing episodes of his participation in Spanish production motorsport. The livery, dominated by the white and blue corporate colours of the well-known food sponsor, made the Golf one of the most photographed and remembered cars of that era. In a pack where mass consumption sponsorships were starting to make a strong impact, Vélez's "Danone" became a symbol of that moment when touring motorsport connected with the general public.

Avant Slot has managed to capture that spirit in this reproduction, offering enthusiasts the chance to have a piece of Spanish motor history on the track — or in the display case.
