IXO 1/43 - PANHARD PL 17 - WINNING RALLY MONTE CARLO 1961


The winning crew were M. Martin and R Bateau. The model certainly does the real car justice by capturing its looks well. The small open driver's window affords a view of the rather dark interior. Dashboard detail can just be made out.

IXO 1/43 PEUGEOT 206 WRC - 2002 DRIVERS WORLD CHAMPION



2002 Drivers World Champion, M. Gronholm, and T. Rautiainen, with their Peugeot 206, car number 2. Capturing the scene at the Telsra Rally in Australia, it is a pity about the moulding join on the 'triumphal gateway', while the figures look slightly over scale.--Model Collector See more.

IXO - 1975 RENAULT SIETE TL


The slightly odd looking 'Siete' which means 5 in spanish was built as the saloon is seen as more upmarket on the continent. So the five door hatch backed 5 was converted to a decent but dumpy looking saloon car. It didn't sell very well as spanish Renault hoped and was shelved after around 5 years. So I would think even in it's native spain these mk 1 Renault 5's are quite rare. Ixo have done a brilliant job with this model and managed a very good level of detail. --NEO "Daren" See more.
