About the Lada 2105 VFTS #70 E. Tumalevicius 1000 Lakes Rally 1986 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Lada 2105 VFTS reproduces car #70, driven by E. Tumalevicius at the 1000 Lakes Rally in 1986, over a sealed zinc alloy body. This is a new model in new packaging. A rare Soviet-era rally subject for a WRC-era diecast collection.

Soviet-built rally cars rarely get this kind of scale-model attention, which makes this Lada VFTS a genuinely unusual find for anyone assembling a broader picture of 1980s rallying.

A Sealed Body Carrying Full Rally Livery

Rally cars live or die on livery accuracy, and this VFTS carries its period sponsor decals and #70 racing numbers across a sealed one-piece diecast body, with the body's continuous surfacing letting those graphics wrap cleanly around the wheel arches and roofline without a panel seam interrupting the artwork. The zinc alloy shell gives the model genuine weight, and the boxy, upright Lada silhouette, with its flared plastic arch extensions, is captured with reasonable fidelity for the 1:18 scale. Wheel design, roll cage suggestion through the glazing and rally lighting details all add to a convincing period rally presentation. As a factory-fresh piece, the paint and decals arrive in pristine condition, with none of the wear a used example might carry.

A Rare Glimpse of Soviet-Era Rallying

The Lada VFTS was a homologation-special rally variant built to compete in European rallying during the 1980s, entered by drivers from the Eastern Bloc at events including the demanding 1000 Lakes Rally in Finland. This particular livery, driven by E. Tumalevicius, gives the model genuine documentary value within a WRC Classic grouping, standing apart from the more familiar Western European rally subjects most collections favour.

A New Model Ready for a Rally-Themed Shelf

Arriving as a new model in new packaging, this Lada VFTS is ready to display straight from the box. Placed among other 1980s rally subjects, it broadens a collection's geographic and cultural range in a way few other diecasts can match.
