    This is the Saab 96 V4 #18 Rally 1000 Lakes 1976 in 1:43 scale by IXO.In the 1976 Rally 1000 Lakes, the Saab 96 V4, car number 18, was driven by J. Vilkas with co-driver J. Soini. This Finnish rally, known today as Rally Finland, was famous for its high-speed gravel roads and massive jumps, making it one of the most exciting and demanding events on the WRC calendar. The Saab 96 V4, with its front-wheel-drive layout, was well-suited for the loose gravel surfaces, offering exceptional handling in the fast-flowing forest stages. The 1000 Lakes Rally was unique for its relentless pace and the dominance of Scandinavian drivers, who mastered the art of “left-foot braking” to maintain speed through corners. Competing in this rally required immense skill and bravery, making it a true test of both car and driver.Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model comes with its own acrylic display case.
