1:43 ŠKODA FELICIA KIT CAR #27 P.SIBERA - P.GROSS RAC RALLY 1995

Skoda Felicia Kit Car, start number 27, Sibera and Gross, RAC Rally 1995 (1:43, IXO Models)

A finished collector's model in 1:43 scale capturing the Skoda Felicia Kit Car with start number 27 and the home crew of P. Sibera and P. Gross on the British RAC Rally in 1995. The model is meant for display, not for building. The distinguishing detail against its sister item is the start number and the crew, while the car and the event are the same.

The real subject

The Felicia Kit Car was a competition version of the production Felicia prepared to the rules of the Kit Car class. In the mid-1990s that class made it possible to build fast front-wheel-drive cars without the outlay of the top category, and the Mlada Boleslav marque returned to the world championship with it. Against the older cars with the engine at the rear it was an entirely different layout and an entirely different driving style. The RAC Rally was run on British forest tracks, where reliability and precise route notes decided matters on the long, soft special stages.

The workmanship and the collection

The model comes assembled and finished in color according to that entry, with the start number. It needs no glue, no paints and no tools. Display it out of direct sunlight in a closed case and take it by the bodywork when handling it.

Who the model is for

• Collectors of home crews in works Skoda cars.
• Anyone interested in the Kit Car class and in the world championship of the 1990s.
• Enthusiasts of the Skoda marque who build a collection in 1:43 scale.
• Buyers who want a finished exhibit with no building and painting.

This is a finished collector's model, not a kit. The model is neither glued nor painted.
