About the Opel Manta 400 #11 R. Brookes / M. Broad RAC Rally 1985 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Opel Manta 400 recreates the #11 R. Brookes / M. Broad entry from the 1985 RAC Rally. The zinc alloy body is sealed with no opening panels, holding the Manta's coupe shape and Group B trim on one continuous casting. A solid Group B rally piece for the shelf.

The Manta 400 gave Opel a rear-wheel-drive Group B contender in an era increasingly dominated by four-wheel-drive turbocharged rivals, and this RAC Rally livery documents its role on British soil.

Diecast Detail Across the Manta's Coupe Shape

The Manta's long coupe roofline and squared-off rear end read clean in zinc alloy diecast, a material that gives the model genuine weight in the hand and holds the flared arch extensions and rally-spec light pods as sharp, cast-in detail. Because the body is sealed with no opening parts, that entire silhouette sits as one continuous shell, with door and hood lines scribed as tight grooves rather than gapped seams. The rally livery, with its numbered doors and sponsor decals, sits directly on that unbroken surface, keeping the graphics aligned across the car's length without a hinge line to interrupt them. This construction suits a subject whose visual identity depends on a clean, uninterrupted profile.

A Rear-Wheel-Drive Group B Holdout

While rivals moved to four-wheel drive, Opel kept the Manta 400 rear-wheel-drive and relied on a well-sorted chassis and a naturally-aspirated engine to stay competitive on tighter, twistier stages. The RAC Rally's forest terrain suited that setup reasonably well, and R. Brookes and M. Broad's #11 entry represents a privateer or semi-works effort typical of the period's varied Group B grids.

Displaying Group B's Rear-Drive Side

Pair this Manta with its sister #14 entry from the same event, or with other rear-wheel-drive Group B cars, to build a contrast against the turbocharged four-wheel-drive machines that eventually dominated the category.
