About the Opel Ascona 400 Rothmans #1 W. Rohrl / C. Geistdorfer Rally Acropolis 1982 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Opel Ascona 400 reproduces Walter Rohrl and Christian Geistdorfer's #1 Rothmans car from the 1982 Rally Acropolis. The sealed body carries the bold Rothmans livery with no opening panels.

The Ascona 400 arrived just before Group B's full arrival, and Rohrl's Acropolis run marks the car in one of rallying's most demanding tests of the era.

Reproducing an Early-1980s Rally Livery

Rothmans' cream, red and gold scheme is one of rallying's most recognizable liveries, and reproducing it accurately depends on tight, consistent decal placement across the Ascona's boxy sedan bodywork. IXO's sealed casting keeps that print work steady, since a fixed body avoids the seam interruptions a hinged shell would introduce across a livery this detailed. Zinc alloy diecast gives the model real weight at 1:18, and the car's period-correct rally lighting pods and mudflaps are cast in, preserving the look of a genuine Group B-era entrant without fragile add-on parts.

Rally Legends and Early Group B Collecting

Rohrl's name carries significant weight among rally collectors, and this Acropolis entry predates the wilder Group B monsters that would soon follow, capturing a transitional moment in the sport's evolution. Displayed alongside other early-1980s rally cars or a broader Group A and Group B legends theme, this Ascona 400 provides genuine historical context for how the category developed. At 1:18, the model carries enough presence to anchor a rally-themed shelf on its own.
