1/8
AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Subaru Impreza WRC #3 reproduces Colin McRae and Nicky Grist's Safari Rally-winning entry from 1997. This used model opens at the doors and bonnet, and its box shows traces of storage while the casting itself is unaffected. A recognisable World Rally Championship livery for a WRC Classic display.
About the Subaru Impreza WRC #3 C. McRae / N. Grist Safari Rally Winner 1997 AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Subaru Impreza WRC #3 reproduces Colin McRae and Nicky Grist's Safari Rally-winning car from 1997, opening doors and bonnet included. This is a used model, box showing storage marks, casting unaffected. A recognisable WRC-era piece for a Subaru rally shelf.
McRae's aggressive driving style made Subaru's blue and gold livery one of the most recognisable in world rallying, and this AUTOart diecast keeps that identity front and centre.
AUTOart's Rally-Car Detailing and This Copy's Condition
The zinc alloy body gives this Impreza WRC genuine weight, and AUTOart's tooling holds the widened arches, roof scoop and rally lighting that mark this out as a full World Rally Championship specification rather than a road-going Impreza. Doors and bonnet open to show the flat-four turbo engine bay and stripped competition cabin, and Subaru's period livery with race number 3 sits crisply across the bodywork. This is a used model, and its outer box shows traces of storage rather than factory-fresh presentation, though the casting itself carries no such wear. For a livery this widely recognised, accurate graphics matter far more than box condition.
McRae's Impreza in WRC History
Colin McRae's partnership with co-driver Nicky Grist helped define Subaru's World Rally Championship identity through the 1990s, and Safari Rally results like this one added to a growing reputation built on speed and spectacle. Displayed alongside other WRC Classic liveries or Subaru's broader rally history, this model gives a collection one of the sport's most instantly recognisable driver pairings from its most popular era.
