1:43 Škoda 200RS (1974) - Rallye Škoda 1974 #20 Horsák - Motal

Skoda 200RS (1974), the crew Horsak and Motal, 1:43 (Abrex)

This Abrex model in 1:43 scale captures the competition Skoda 200RS in the version with the starting number 20 and with the names of the crew Horsak and Motal. It is a finished model, not a kit: it comes out of the box assembled, painted and with factory printing. It is precisely the particular crew and event that set this item apart from other rally versions of the same car.

The real subject

The Skoda 200RS was built in Mlada Boleslav in the first half of the 1970s as a competition coupe made in only a handful of examples. It never reached series production, but all the more attention is paid to it today by collectors and by those who remember domestic motorsport. The car appeared at domestic events in the hands of works crews, and its individual outings are still followed by starting numbers and the names of the drivers, which is also the reason why collector models of this type are issued in many color and printing variants.

The version and care of the model

On a model with a particular crew the greatest value lies in the accuracy of the printing: the starting number, the names on the fenders and the period markings. They are applied at the factory and are at the same time the most delicate part of the model. Do not touch them with your fingers, do not wipe them with a cloth and avoid any cleaners. Use a soft brush for dust. A closed display case out of reach of direct sunlight is ideal, where neither the printing nor the paint fades over time.

Who the model is for

• Collectors of domestic motorsport who follow particular crews
• Those interested in Skoda competition cars of the 1970s
• Those who are putting together a series of different outings of one type
• Buyers who want a finished model without building and painting

The model is finished and painted and is not intended for building or modification. It is not a toy for small children.
