About the Opel Ascona 400 Rothmans #1 W. Rohrl / C. Geistdorfer Rally Acropolis 1982 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Opel Ascona 400 recreates the #1 Rothmans entry driven by Walter Rohrl and Christian Geistdorfer at the 1982 Rally Acropolis. Sealed zinc alloy body, printed livery. A named-crew rally casting from the dawn of the Group B era.

Walter Rohrl's name carries real weight among rally enthusiasts, and this Ascona 400 casting fixes his 1982 Acropolis campaign to a specific, documented livery.

IXO's 1:18 Diecast Approach to a Group B-Era Rally Car

The zinc alloy body gives the model real substance in the hand, well beyond what a plastic construction toy of the same size would offer. Built as one sealed shell, the Ascona's flared wheel arches, bonnet vents and rally lighting pods sit as crisp cast detail rather than fragile fitted parts, a construction well suited to a rally-prepared saloon whose bodywork modifications were functional rather than decorative. The printed Rothmans sponsor graphics and #1 door number demand fine registration to read cleanly, a detail where IXO's motorsport specialism shows clearly.

Group B Heritage and Collection Context

The Ascona 400 competed at the boundary between the Group 4 and Group B eras, giving it a genuine place in rally history just before the sport's most extreme machinery arrived. Rohrl's involvement adds a named, respected crew reference that a generic rally livery could never match. At 1:18, the Ascona's boxy saloon shape sits well alongside other early-1980s rally cars, and pairing it with contemporaries from Lancia, Audi or Ford builds an accurate cross-manufacturer grid from the period.

For anyone tracking Group B-era rallying or Rohrl's career specifically, this casting offers real documentary depth.
