About the Jide 1600S Gr.4 #14 J. Ragnotti / Jaubert Criterium des Cevennes 1972 Otto 1:18

TL;DR: Otto's 1:18 resin Jide 1600S carries the #14 J. Ragnotti/Jaubert livery from the 1972 Criterium des Cevennes rally, cast as a sealed, one-piece body. This is a used example; the box shows storage marks while the model itself is unaffected. A niche early-1970s rally subject rarely reproduced elsewhere.

Small French rally entries from the early 1970s rarely make it to scale model form, which makes this Jide 1600S a genuine discovery piece rather than a familiar name. Otto's resin cast preserves that obscurity honestly at 1:18.

Resin Casting on a Sealed Body

Cast resin suits low-volume, niche subjects like this one, where the tooling investment needed for diecast production would rarely be justified. The body is sealed, so the entire presentation happens on the exterior: the period-correct rally graphics and number panels, the shape of the fenders and lighting units typical of early-1970s French competition cars, and how evenly the livery paint sits across the sculpted bodywork. A fingertip run along the door line finds a single continuous groove rather than a hinge gap, confirmation of a one-piece mold rather than an assembled shell. Resin's lower mass compared to diecast makes handling this kind of specialist casting straightforward for close inspection on a display shelf.

A Rare Rally Subject for the Collector

The Criterium des Cevennes was a demanding regional French rally in the early 1970s, and a driver name attached to the #14 entry ties this specific livery to a documented period result rather than an invented paint scheme. As a used example, the box shows storage marks while the casting itself remains intact, a fair tradeoff for a subject this hard to find in any condition. At 1:18 the Jide's compact proportions and period styling stand apart from the more familiar Group B and WRC-era rally cars that dominate most collections, making it a genuine conversation piece for anyone building a broader vintage French rally theme. Its rarity as a subject, not just its build quality, is the real reason to add it to a shelf.
