About the Ford Transit Mk2 Van Team David Jones Rally Assistance IXO 1:18
TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Ford Transit Mk2 reproduces the Team David Jones rally assistance van from the late 1970s. The sealed diecast body holds crisp period team livery on a genuinely uncommon service-vehicle subject. A distinctive piece for collectors who look beyond the rally cars themselves.
Rally teams relied on service vans to keep works cars running between stages, and these support vehicles rarely get the same collecting attention as the rally cars themselves, making a dedicated release like this genuinely notable.
Diecast Detail on a Rally-Support Subject
The Transit Mk2's boxy van proportions give IXO's sealed body a straightforward, honest shape to reproduce, with the flat side panels and upright windshield holding an even finish under direct light. The Team David Jones livery, dense with period sponsor branding typical of works rally support vehicles, sits cleanly registered over the panel lines, and the zinc-alloy construction gives the compact van real weight in the hand. Sealed construction keeps the shutlines tight around the doors and rear hatch, and the model's utilitarian proportions reflect exactly what a rally service van was built to be.
A Genuine Rarity for Rally History Collectors
Service and assistance vehicles are a specialized corner of rally collecting, appealing to enthusiasts who want the full picture of a works campaign rather than just the competing cars. At roughly 19cm, this van's boxy shape provides real contrast against the low, aggressive rally cars it once supported. For anyone building a complete team display, pairing this Transit with the era's rally cars tells a fuller, more accurate story of a works operation.
