About the Jide 1600S Gr.4 #14 J. Ragnotti / Jaubert Criterium des Cevennes 1972 Otto 1:18

TL;DR: Otto's 1:18 resin Jide 1600S Gr.4 reproduces car #14 from the 1972 Criterium des Cevennes, driven by Jean Ragnotti and Jaubert, over a sealed body. This used example arrives with a box showing traces of storage; the casting itself is intact. A rare subject for specialist French rally collectors.

Jide was a small French constructor building lightweight competition specials in the early 1970s, and this particular car marks an early outing for a driver who would go on to define a generation of Renault works rallying.

Sealed-Body Resin Casting of the Otto Jide 1600S

Resin suits a niche competition subject like this one, letting a small specialist producer capture the Jide's distinctive lightweight bodywork without the tooling investment a diecast run would demand. The body is sealed, so the entire replica lives on the exterior: the roofline, wheel arches and rally-spec bonnet vents are all cast in fine relief, and the panel gaps run tight and consistent, a hallmark of hand-finished resin at this scale. Car number 14 and the period sponsor markings are applied with clean registration, essential detail on a subject identified almost entirely by its livery and event history. Lighter in the hand than a comparable diecast, the casting nonetheless conveys the Jide's compact, purposeful stance convincingly. As a used example, this model has been previously displayed or handled, and its box shows traces of storage; the casting itself carries no equivalent wear.

Collecting Value of a Genuinely Rare Subject

Jide's production run was tiny, and few manufacturers have ever tackled this particular car in scale form, making Otto's resin replica a genuine discovery piece rather than a routine addition. For collectors tracing Jean Ragnotti's career from these early Criterium des Cevennes outings through to his later Renault 5 Turbo works drives, this Jide fills a gap that almost no other manufacturer covers. At a compact rally-car footprint, it slots easily into a themed 1970s French rallying display alongside more familiar Alpine and Renault entries.
