About the Opel Ascona A #26 W. Rohrl / J. Berger RAC Rally 1973 MCG 1:18

TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 diecast Opel Ascona A reproduces Walter Rohrl and Jochen Berger's #26 car from the 1973 RAC Rally, an early entry from before Rohrl's decorated championship career. The flagship scale suits this genuine works Opel rally livery well.

Two years before his Acropolis run with a different co-driver, Rohrl was already tackling Britain's toughest rally in an Ascona A, and this MCG diecast fixes that earlier chapter in 1:18.

MCG's 1:18 Rally-Era Precision

MCG has carved out a niche reproducing classic rally liveries that mainstream manufacturers rarely revisit, and this Ascona A shows that focus in its correctly proportioned wide arches, auxiliary driving lights, and period-accurate skid protection under the front bumper. Opel's factory rally graphics and Rohrl and Berger's #26 markings are applied cleanly, and the boxy three-box saloon shape has genuine presence at 1:18, considerably more shelf impact than the same subject would carry at 1:43.

The RAC Rally's Punishing Reputation

The RAC Rally was long considered one of the toughest events on the world rally calendar, run through British forest stages in autumn and winter conditions that tested both cars and crews with mud, low light, and unpredictable weather. Opel's factory rally program campaigned the Ascona A at events like this as part of a broader push to establish the brand's motorsport credentials in the 1970s, and Rohrl's participation here predates the championship success he would later find with Fiat and Audi.

An Early Milestone for a Rohrl or Opel Shelf

This Ascona A pairs naturally with the Acropolis Rally entry from the same era, building an early-career Rohrl display or a broader 1970s works Opel rally theme.
