About the Ford Escort WRC Martini Racing #22 A. Medeghini / B. Medeghini Rally San Remo 1998 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast reproduces the Ford Escort WRC in Martini Racing #22 colors from Rally San Remo 1998. Zinc alloy construction gives it shelf weight, while the tampo-printed Martini stripes anchor it firmly in the WRC's Escort era for any 1990s rally display.

The Ford Escort WRC ran gravel and tarmac stages through the late 1990s, and Martini's stripes remain one of rallying's most recognizable liveries. This piece keeps both intact in a manageable 1:18 footprint.

Diecast Build and Livery Accuracy on the Ford Escort WRC 1:18

IXO builds this Escort in zinc alloy, and the weight in hand is the first thing a collector notices when lifting it from the box, a density plastic promotional pieces never match. The rally graphics, the Martini stripes, sponsor decals, and #22 door number are tampo-printed rather than stickered, which keeps edges sharp and avoids the lifting corners that plague cheaper applications after a few years on a shelf. Rally cars carry mud flaps, underbody guards, and auxiliary lighting that road versions skip, and this casting includes those details rather than a simplified street-shape substitute. At 1:18, the model runs close to 20cm, small enough to group several rally liveries on one shelf without crowding. The panel gaps are honest for the price tier, tighter than entry diecast but not razor thin, which is the expected trade-off at this level. Buyers should judge the piece against its own segment rather than against hand-built resin competition pieces costing several times as much.

Building a WRC Shelf Around the Escort and Martini Livery

San Remo was a fixture on the WRC calendar through the 1990s, a mixed-surface event that punished cars and drivers in equal measure, and the Escort's presence there places this model squarely in the championship's Group A to World Rally Car transition period. Collectors who focus on Ford's rally history, or on Martini's motorsport sponsorship across multiple marques, will find this a natural companion piece to other Escort liveries or period Lancia and Subaru rivals from the same seasons. Displayed on a raised base or simply grouped by era, the model reads well among other 1990s rally diecast rather than standing alone. Keep it out of direct sun to protect the printed graphics, and dust with a soft brush rather than cloth to avoid dulling the tampo work. At its price point, this is an accessible entry into a specific and well-loved slice of WRC history.
