Ford Cortina Lotus #11 B. Soderström / G. Palm RAC Rally 1966 MCG 1:18
1/6
MCG's 1:18 diecast Ford Cortina Lotus reproduces the #11 car of Soderström and Palm from the 1966 RAC Rally. A period-correct British rally piece for classic Ford collections.
About the Ford Cortina Lotus #11 B. Soderström / G. Palm RAC Rally 1966 MCG 1:18
TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 diecast Ford Cortina Lotus recreates the #11 Soderström/Palm entry from the 1966 RAC Rally. Diecast construction and period rally graphics make it a strong choice for collectors building a British rally or Ford Cortina theme.
The Cortina Lotus turned a family saloon into a genuine rally weapon in the 1960s, and MCG's diecast leans into that competition history rather than the road-going version.
MCG's Rally-Specific Build
The bodyshell keeps the Cortina's boxy saloon proportions while carrying the rally-spec details a road version lacks: auxiliary lamps mounted ahead of the grille, mud-flecked lower panels rendered in paint rather than actual grime, and the number 11 and sponsor markings applied cleanly across the doors and bonnet. Diecast weight gives the model a solid feel, and MCG typically finishes rally liveries with sharp graphic edges rather than soft printing, which matters on a car whose visual appeal is largely its livery. Wheel and tyre detail leans toward period rally rubber rather than road tyres, a small but noticeable difference for anyone who knows the subject.
Collecting British Rally Heritage
The RAC Rally was a cornerstone of British motorsport through the 1960s, and the Cortina Lotus was one of the cars that made Ford's competition reputation in that era, so this model carries genuine heritage weight rather than a generic rally livery slapped onto a saloon shape. At 1:18 the Cortina's compact saloon footprint sits comfortably among other 1960s rally and touring subjects on a shelf, and pairing this with the Marathon de la Route entry or the plain street-liveried Cortina Lotus builds a small but coherent Cortina story across competition and road forms. This is a genuinely specific piece, tied to a named crew and event, which gives it more collecting substance than a repainted generic rally car, and it rewards buyers who care about which crew ran which car rather than just the shape on the shelf.
