About the Opel Ascona 400 #5 W. Rohrl / C. Geistdorfer Safari Rally World Champion 1982 Sun Star 1:18

TL;DR: Sun Star's 1:18 diecast Opel Ascona 400 #5 reproduces Walter Röhrl and Christian Geistdorfer's 1982 Safari Rally car, with opening doors and hood. This is a used model; the box shows traces of storage while the casting is intact. Röhrl claimed the 1982 World Rally Championship drivers' title in this generation of Ascona.

Röhrl's 1982 championship season gives this livery genuine competitive weight, and the diecast carries the rally-spec bodywork with enough presence to anchor a WRC classics shelf.

Rally-Spec Diecast with Working Panels

The zinc alloy body feels dense and purposeful in the hand, appropriate for a subject built to survive rough gravel stages rather than showroom floors. The doors and hood open, revealing a simplified rally-prepared cabin and engine bay, genuine display features rather than a listed claim. Livery graphics, sponsor decals and the #5 roundel are rendered cleanly against the body color, and panel gaps sit a touch wider than a resin equivalent, a fair trade for the hands-on articulation. This copy is a used model, and its box shows traces of storage, an honest condition for a piece with genuine shelf history.

Röhrl and the 1982 Championship Ascona

Walter Röhrl, partnered with co-driver Christian Geistdorfer, won the 1982 World Rally Championship drivers' title driving the Opel Ascona 400, one of the era's dominant Group 4 rally machines. The Safari Rally itself was famously punishing, run over long, rough East African stages that tested both car and crew, and liveries from that event carry particular weight among rally collectors for the sheer difficulty of the event they represent.

Building a Rally Shelf

This Ascona 400 pairs naturally with other Group B and Group 4-era rally cars, its livery adding genuine championship provenance to a WRC classics display. The opening doors and hood invite a closer look at rally-prepared detail, and the honestly disclosed used condition and storage-marked box keep this genuine piece of championship history within reach.
