About the Skoda 130 LR #21 L. Krecek / B. Motl Rally Acropolis 1986 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Skoda 130 LR reproduces Ladislav Krecek's #21 Rally Acropolis 1986 livery as a sealed, one-piece body. This rear-engined Eastern European rally saloon's bodywork defines the piece. A genuinely uncommon WRC classic.

The 130 LR's rear-engined layout made it a genuine oddity even among 1980s Group B and Group A rally cars, and Krecek's Acropolis entry documents Skoda's determined, if unconventional, competition effort.

A Sealed Body for an Unconventional Layout

This 130 LR is a fixed, one-piece zinc alloy casting, and the sealed shell suits the saloon's compact proportions and rear-engined weight distribution, all captured as one continuous exterior surface. There are no opening panels here, so Skoda's factory sponsor liveries and Krecek's #21 car number sit crisply printed across the bodywork, and the rally-spec lighting and bumper additions typical of Acropolis-specification cars come through clearly.

An Eastern European Rally Rarity

Skoda's rear-engined saloon platform gave the 130 LR a genuinely different handling character from the front and mid-engined machinery that dominated 1980s international rallying, and the demanding Rally Acropolis tested that engineering approach against far more conventional rivals. For collectors chasing genuinely obscure rally subjects, the 130 LR offers real historical curiosity beyond the era's headline names.

A Rare Discovery for a Rally Shelf

At 1:18, this Skoda's compact proportions take a modest shelf slot, and its unconventional layout makes it a genuine talking point beside more familiar Group B rivals. Displayed with other Eastern European rally subjects, it broadens a collection's international variety. Keep the sealed body dusted and shielded from strong light.
