About the Skoda 130 LR #22 S. Kvaizar / J. Janecek Rally Acropolis 1986 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Skoda 130 LR recreates the #22 S. Kvaizar / J. Janecek entry from the 1986 Rally Acropolis. The zinc alloy body is sealed with no opening panels, holding the rear-engined coupe's compact rally trim as one continuous casting. A rare Eastern Bloc rally subject for the shelf.

Skoda's rally program built a genuine reputation in the mid-1980s despite limited factory resources, and this Rally Acropolis entry documents the rear-engined 130 LR tackling one of the toughest events on the calendar.

Diecast Detail on a Rear-Engined Rally Coupe

The 130 LR's rear-engined layout gave it an unusual weight distribution among period Group B rivals, and its compact coupe body, with rally-spec flared arches and auxiliary lighting, translates well into zinc alloy diecast's combination of genuine weight and sharp, well-defined cast edges. Because the body is sealed with no opening parts, the car's flared panels and light pods sit as continuous, cast-in detail rather than fitted accessories, keeping shut lines tight and the profile unbroken. The livery's numbered doors and period Skoda sponsor decals sit directly on that clean surface.

An Eastern Bloc Rally Effort

Rally Acropolis, run through Greece's brutal heat and rough mountain roads, tested cars and crews severely, and Skoda's factory-backed effort with limited resources against better-funded Western European teams gives this entry genuine underdog appeal. The 130 LR's rear-engined layout, more reminiscent of a Porsche than a typical rally car, made it a distinctive presence on any grid it joined.

A Distinctive Eastern Bloc Piece

This Skoda works well as a contrast piece within a broader 1980s rally collection, its rear-engined layout and Eastern Bloc origin setting it apart from the turbocharged four-wheel-drive Group B cars dominating the era's headlines.
