About the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth #8 D. Auriol / B. Occelli Rally Tour de Corse 1988 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Ford Sierra RS Cosworth #8 carries the Auriol/Occelli Tour de Corse 1988 livery, with opening doors, hood and trunk. This is a used model; the box shows traces of storage, the casting itself intact. A focused Group A rally piece.

The Tour de Corse earned its reputation as the toughest tarmac rally on the calendar, and the Sierra RS Cosworth was one of the cars built to survive it.

AUTOart's Diecast Treatment of the Rally Sierra

The zinc alloy body carries the weight a rally subject deserves, dense enough that lifting it off the shelf feels deliberate rather than incidental. Doors, hood and trunk all open, exposing the roll cage, bucket seats and stripped-down cabin that turned a road Sierra into a Group A weapon; the panels settle where released rather than swinging loose. Livery accuracy matters most on a subject like this, where sponsor decals and number plates carry the identity, and the printed graphics here sit crisp against the body color rather than blurred or misregistered. This is a used model, and the box shows traces of storage rather than a factory-fresh presentation; the casting itself carries no separate condition note, so what arrives is a model worth the closer inspection its opening panels invite.

Didier Auriol and the Group B to Group A Transition

1988 sat at the edge of rallying's biggest regulatory shift, with Group B banned and Group A cars like this Sierra RS Cosworth stepping into the top tier. Auriol and co-driver Bernard Occelli campaigned the car on home tarmac at the Tour de Corse, a rally that rewarded precision over brute horsepower more than most rounds of the championship. That transitional period gives the Sierra genuine collecting weight beyond its shape alone; it represents the moment homologation rules reset the sport's competitive order.

Placing the Sierra in a Rally Collection

This model pairs naturally with other Group A and late-Group B liveries from the same era, where shared regulations make for a coherent shelf rather than a scattered one. Keep it away from direct light to protect the decal printing, and let the opened panels face outward when displayed.
