About the Vauxhall Chevette 2300 HSR J. McRae / M. Nicholson Lombard RAC Rally 1980 Otto 1:18

TL;DR: Otto Mobile's 1:18 resin Vauxhall Chevette 2300 HSR reproduces Jimmy McRae and Ian Nicholson's entry at the 1980 Lombard RAC Rally. Sealed resin construction carries the car's boxy hatchback silhouette and period rally livery through to a Vauxhall or WRC-era classics display.

The Chevette HSR gave Vauxhall genuine rally credibility in Britain, and this McRae entry represents one of the model's better-known outings on home soil.

Sealed Resin Detail on a British Rally Icon

The HSR's arch extensions and rally-spec lighting pods sit proud of the standard Chevette's bodywork, and Otto's resin construction holds those bolted-on details with tight, precise lines rather than any visible tooling seam around the added panels. Period rally liveries of this era relied on bold, simple graphics rather than dense sponsor artwork, and a smooth resin surface lets that print sit crisply without competing against opening-panel seams. As a sealed piece, this model has no opening doors or bonnet, a trade that suits a rally subject where exterior stance and correct arch flares matter more than any interior detail collectors would rarely inspect closely anyway. It captures a genuinely British motorsport moment rather than a more familiar continental subject.

Jimmy McRae and the Chevette's Rally Pedigree

Jimmy McRae, father of later World Rally Champion Colin McRae, competed extensively in British rallying, and his Chevette HSR entries were a familiar sight on events like the Lombard RAC Rally during this period. Vauxhall's rally programme gave the otherwise humble Chevette a genuine competition career far removed from its role as an everyday hatchback. For a WRC Classic collection, this piece offers a distinctly British counterpoint to the Scandinavian and continental rally cars that often dominate that theme.
