About the Toyota Celica 2000 GT RA21 #18 J-L. Therier RAC Rally 1977 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Toyota Celica 2000 GT RA21 recreates Jean-Luc Therier's #18 entry at the 1977 RAC Rally. Toyota's European rally programme campaigned the RA21 through Britain's forests that year, and this solid diecast reproduction captures the car's period correct rally preparation in genuine detail.

The RAC Rally has long stood as one of the toughest events on the world rally calendar, and Toyota's works effort took that challenge seriously enough to send Therier, an established French rally talent, to tackle it.

Diecast Detail on a Classic 1970s Rally Subject

The RA21 Celica's boxy, upright bodywork gives diecast tooling clean, flat surfaces to reproduce faithfully, and the rally specification details here, spot lamps, mud flaps, and reinforced wheel arches, are picked out with the kind of definition that separates a genuine rally replica from a road car with a number plate added. Toyota's period livery relied on bold, simple colour blocking that translates well into sharp tampo printed graphics, and the diecast body's weight gives the model a satisfying solidity appropriate to a car built to survive forest stages rather than showroom display.

A British Rally Classic and an Established European Talent

Therier brought genuine rallying pedigree from his earlier Alpine years into Toyota's European effort, and the RAC Rally's mix of forest stages and unpredictable British weather made it one of the calendar's most respected tests of both car and driver. Toyota's investment in European rallying through this period laid groundwork for the manufacturer's later, far more prominent presence in the World Rally Championship. For a collection built around WRC classic era cars or specifically around the RAC Rally's history, this Celica represents a genuinely significant early chapter.
