About the Lancia Stratos HF #24 P. Tabaton / L. Radaelli Rally Sanremo 1980 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the #24 Lancia Stratos HF entered by Piero Tabaton and Luigi Radaelli at the 1980 Rally Sanremo. It captures the Stratos still competing on home soil years after its official Lancia works career had ended.

By 1980 the Stratos had been superseded by Lancia's own works focus elsewhere, yet privateer entries kept the wedge-shaped icon competitive on Italian rallies well into the new decade.

A Familiar Shape in a Later Livery

The Stratos's low nose, short tail and pop-up headlamps stayed unmistakable regardless of who was running the car, and this diecast holds that silhouette with the same sharp panel lines Minichamps applies across its Stratos range. The Tabaton entry's livery differs from the works Alitalia and Marlboro schemes most collectors know first, and reproducing a less common colour combination is exactly where a specialist diecast maker earns its reputation over a mass-market alternative. The doors open on the model, and the cabin detail behind them reflects the stripped, purposeful fit-out a genuine rally car carried rather than a showroom interior.

Tracing the Stratos Beyond Its Works Years

For a collector who already owns the well-known factory Stratos liveries, a later privateer entry like this one adds a different chapter to the story: proof the car remained genuinely competitive on Italian rallies long after its official works programme wound down. It rewards depth over headline recognition, the kind of piece that turns a Stratos shelf into a real study of the car's career rather than a repeat of the same famous colours.
