I think Alexander Grau was universally known as "Sandy" in his early days - it was during the 1996 DTM/ITC season (when his disappointing form meant he was "demoted" from the AMG to the Persson Mercedes team mid-season, with Bernd Maylander being promoted) that he asked to be known as Alexander in future (similar to Geoff Bodine becoming Geoffrey?)
As for 1/43 models of cars driven by female Touring Car racers, Ellen Lohr C-Class (and 190) models still seem to be in plentiful supply in the UK, and no doubt more so in Europe. Lurking in my DTM collection is also an early Minichamps M3 (1991?) with Annette Meeuvissen's name on; I would imagine that one's fairly rare by now.
