About the Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD ST185 #2 M. Alén / I. Kivimäki Safari Rally 1993 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Toyota Celica ST185 reproduces Markku Alen's #2 Safari Rally 1993 livery as a sealed, one-piece body. The flared Group A bodywork and rally aero define the piece. A genuine WRC classic subject.

The Celica ST185 was Toyota's dominant Group A weapon through the early 1990s, and this diecast carries Markku Alen's 1993 Safari Rally colours on one of motorsport's most punishing events.

A Sealed Body for a Flared Rally Shape

This Celica is a fixed, one-piece zinc alloy casting, and the ST185's widened Group A arches and rally-spec bumpers come through cleanly in the sealed shell's proportions. There are no opening doors or bonnet here, so the tampo-printed sponsor liveries and Toyota Team Europe detailing sit uninterrupted across the bodywork, and the mud-guard extensions and auxiliary lighting typical of Safari-spec cars are rendered as part of the exterior surface rather than added trim.

Toyota's Safari Rally Dominance

The Safari Rally demanded specific modifications from every competing manufacturer, given its brutal combination of heat, dust and rough terrain, and Toyota's ST185 was built to survive it while remaining competitive on tarmac events elsewhere on the calendar. Alen's participation in period Toyota colours ties this model to a specific, well-documented era of Group A rallying rather than a generic livery.

A Cornerstone for a WRC Classics Shelf

At 1:18, the ST185's widened stance gives it genuine shelf presence among other Group A rally cars from the same period. Displayed alongside other Safari-liveried Celicas from the same era, it builds a coherent rally narrative. Keep the sealed body dusted and shielded from strong light to preserve the printed team liveries.
