About the Volvo 142 #29 M. Alen / I. Kivimaki Rally 1000 Lakes 1973 MCG 1:18

TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 diecast Volvo 142 #29 reproduces Markku Alen and Ilkka Kivimaki's 1973 Rally 1000 Lakes entry. It documents an early period of Alen's rally career and a Volvo subject rarely covered outside specialist model manufacturers.

Markku Alen would go on to become one of Finland's most celebrated rally drivers, and this Volvo 142 captures an early chapter of that story on the demanding gravel roads of his home rally.

A Specialist Manufacturer's Take on a Period Rally Livery

MCG covers rally subjects mainstream manufacturers rarely touch, and this Volvo's period-correct livery includes the auxiliary lighting, mud flaps, and reinforced arches that period rally regulations demanded on gravel events. The diecast body's flared arches accommodate the wider stance a rally-prepared 142 required for stability at speed, and the finish carries the graphic sponsorship typical of early-1970s WRC entries. Diecast construction gives the model genuine weight, and opening doors reveal a simplified rally interior with roll protection, appropriately basic for a car built to survive rough gravel stages rather than pamper its occupants. This is exactly the kind of specific, historically grounded livery that justifies choosing a specialist manufacturer over a mainstream alternative.

Rally 1000 Lakes and an Early Chapter of a Finnish Legend

Rally 1000 Lakes, run on Finland's fast, jump-laden gravel roads, became one of the World Rally Championship's most demanding high-speed events and a genuine proving ground for Finnish driving talent. Markku Alen competed here early in a career that would eventually include multiple world championship rally victories, making this 1973 entry a documented step in the development of a driver who became a genuine legend of the sport. Co-driver Ilkka Kivimaki shared the demands of that gravel-stage navigation across the full event.

A Historic Piece for a Classic WRC Collection

This 142 rewards a collector tracing classic World Rally Championship history or Alen's career specifically, a genuinely documented piece of rally heritage.
