Top 10 Rally Cars in Miniature

Rally cars are the most exciting machines ever licensed to 1:64: turbochargers, mud flaps, sponsor liveries and sideways attitude. These are the ten rally legends every diecast collector should chase.

The top 10

1. Lancia Stratos — the wedge-shaped championship winner. 2. Audi Quattro — all-wheel-drive’s revolution on wheels. 3. Ford Escort RS1800 — the people’s rally hero. 4. Subaru Impreza 22B — the road-going rally car; see Ronin Run for its premium moment. 5. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution — the 22B’s nemesis. 6. Toyota Celica GT-Four — in Mountain Drifters. 7. Peugeot 205 T16 — Group B’s tiny monster. 8. Datsun 1600/510 — the giant-killer, celebrated in our 510 Rally feature. 9. Fiat 131 Abarth — RWD rally royalty. 10. Ford Focus RS WRC — the modern era’s highlight.

Collecting rally diecast

Rally liveries are livery-first collecting: the same casting in different event colours is a collection in itself. Check the SA Diecast Price Index for the sleepers, hunt used diecast stock for retired releases, and grade with our condition grading guide.
