About the Fiat 131 Abarth #3 M. Alen / I. Kivimaki Winner Rally 1000 Lakes 1980 Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Fiat 131 Abarth reproduces Markku Alen and Ilkka Kivimaki's #3 car, winner of the 1980 Rally 1000 Lakes during one of Fiat's most competitive World Rally Championship seasons. Correct livery, auxiliary lighting, and stance detail anchor a genuine WRC classic display piece at mid-tier diecast pricing.

The 1000 Lakes Rally was practically Markku Alen's home event, run over the fast, jump-heavy roads of Finland he grew up navigating, and this Fiat 131 Abarth carries the number he wore to victory there in 1980. Kyosho builds the livery and rally hardware to match that specific result.

Kyosho's 131 Abarth Diecast Build and Rally Hardware

Livery Registration and Race Number

The white and red Fiat works livery is applied with sharp, consistent edges around the sponsor panels, and the number 3 sits correctly on the doors and roofline to match this specific 1000 Lakes entry rather than a generic team scheme. Kyosho has built genuine credibility in rally-specific diecast through exactly this kind of event-and-crew accuracy, reproducing one result rather than an average season livery. Kyosho's mid-tier diecast approach shows in the decal edges, which stay flat rather than lifting at the panel seams after years of handling. For a collector chasing this particular Alen and Kivimaki result, that specificity is most of the purchase's value.

Rally-Specific Detail and Ride Height

Beyond the livery, the model carries the raised ride height and auxiliary roof-mounted lighting that period rally cars needed for the loose gravel and forest roads the 1000 Lakes traversed. The wheels sit with a wider off-road offset than a road-going 131 would show, and the reinforced wheel arches reflect the works team's competition modifications. That stance reads correctly from typical shelf viewing height, a detail that separates a serious rally casting from a lowered road-car shell wearing rally decals.

The Fiat 131 Abarth's WRC Dominance

A Works Rally Weapon of the Late 1970s

Fiat's works rally program built the 131 Abarth into one of the World Rally Championship's dominant forces through the late 1970s, taking manufacturers' titles in 1977 and 1978 against strong Ford and Lancia opposition. The car paired a rear-wheel-drive road-based shell with a highly tuned engine and works-level suspension development, a formula that suited the era's mixed tarmac and gravel events before four-wheel-drive cars began to change the sport. By the start of the 1980s the 131 Abarth remained a genuine title contender even as newer designs began to emerge.

Alen and Kivimaki's 1000 Lakes Victory

Markku Alen built his reputation partly on his results at Rally Finland, known then as the 1000 Lakes Rally, an event whose fast, cresting roads rewarded the local knowledge and bravery he brought to it throughout his career. Paired with co-driver Ilkka Kivimaki, Alen took the 131 Abarth to victory at the 1980 running, a result that reflected both the car's continued competitiveness and the driver's standing as one of the event's most feared competitors. That home-event pedigree is a large part of what makes this specific livery worth collecting.

Anchoring a WRC Classic Shelf with This 131 Abarth

A works-liveried 131 Abarth sits naturally alongside period Lancia Stratos, Ford Escort, or Audi Quattro rally replicas, tracing the years just before four-wheel drive reshaped the sport. At roughly 20 centimeters in 1:18, it fits standard cabinet rows while its raised stance and rally lighting keep it visually distinct from road-going Fiat models on the same shelf. For a WRC classic collection organized by era or by driver, an Alen-and-Kivimaki 1000 Lakes winner gives a shelf both a specific result and a genuine piece of rally history to point to.
