About the BMW 2002 #4 B. Waldegard / H. Thorzelius RAC Rally 1973 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast BMW 2002 #4 reproduces the car driven by Bjorn Waldegard and Hans Thorzelius at the 1973 RAC Rally. Construction is sealed one-piece diecast, new in new packaging. A solid entry for collectors building a 1970s WRC-era rally shelf around period BMW competition history.

Bjorn Waldegard was one of rallying's earliest true professionals, and this 2002 entry captures him competing on British soil during the sport's classic-era peak, well before the World Rally Championship carried the global prestige it has today.

Diecast Weight and Livery Accuracy on a Rally Subject

A period rally car lives or dies on its livery accuracy, and this sealed diecast body carries the #4 competition number, period sponsor markings, and any auxiliary lighting details molded directly into the casting rather than relying on moving parts to tell the story. Zinc-alloy construction gives the compact 2002 shape a solid, satisfying weight in the hand, and with the body sealed rather than opening, the details worth checking closely are the sharpness of the numbering and decal registration, the consistency of the livery's paint boundaries, and the wheel and tire fitment typical of period rally cars run on tarmac and gravel stages alike. IXO has built a substantial reputation around exactly this kind of accurately liveried historic rally subject, favoring faithful graphics work over mechanical gimmicks.

The BMW 2002 in Early WRC-Era Rallying

The BMW 2002 competed actively in international rallying during the early 1970s, a period that predates the official World Rally Championship, which launched in 1973 itself, the same year as this RAC Rally entry. The RAC Rally was one of the era's most demanding events, run largely on British forest stages in unpredictable weather, and BMW's factory and privateer efforts with the 2002 helped establish the car's competition credentials well before its later cult status as a road car classic.

Anchoring an Early WRC Rally Display

For a collection focused on the World Rally Championship's founding years, this BMW 2002 works as a genuine period piece rather than a generic rally-liveried model, tied to a specific event, year, and driver pairing. Its compact 1:18 footprint sits well alongside contemporary Ford, Lancia, and Saab rally entries from the same competitive era, and the sealed body keeps the livery protected without any hinge wear to manage over time.
