About the Audi Quattro #4 S. Blomqvist / B. Cederberg Rally Sweden Winner 1982 Minichamps 1:43
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Audi Quattro reproduces the number 4 car driven by Stig Blomqvist and Bjorn Cederberg to victory at the 1982 Rally Sweden. The sealed one-piece body carries period rally livery and wheel-arch detail in sharp tampo print, an early Group B piece worth prioritising.
The original Audi Quattro rewrote the rules of rallying within a few short seasons, and Stig Blomqvist's 1982 Rally Sweden win came right in the middle of that transformation. Minichamps built this 1:43 release around that specific victory rather than a generic rally scheme, a distinction that matters to anyone building an early Group B or Audi rally collection.
Blomqvist and Cederberg's 1982 Rally Sweden Win
Number 4 Livery on a Sealed Rally Body
The number 4 sits prominently on the doors and roof, with period Audi Sport sponsor graphics wrapped across the bonnet and rear quarters in crisp tampo print. Because the body is cast as a single sealed shell, that livery runs continuously around the wheel arches and sills without breaking at a panel join, which suits the bold, simple graphics rally liveries of this era typically carried. The rally-spec lighting pods mounted ahead of the grille and the roof aerial are moulded directly into the casting, keeping the silhouette accurate against period photographs of the car on its way to victory in Sweden.
The Original Quattro's Early Group B Dominance
Audi introduced four-wheel drive to top-flight rallying with the original Quattro, and by 1982 the car was demonstrating just how significant that advantage could be on loose and snow-covered surfaces like those found on Rally Sweden. Blomqvist and Cederberg's win that year came during the period when rival manufacturers were still working out how to respond to Audi's traction advantage, before the wider field caught up with four-wheel-drive designs of their own. Reproducing this specific result ties the model to a genuinely pivotal moment in rallying history.
Minichamps' Rally Diecast Detail
Snow-Rally Stance and Wheel Detail
This Quattro carries the raised ride height and mud-flap detail typical of a car set up for Scandinavian winter events, moulded into the casting rather than left as a flatter road-going stance. The wheels reflect the period-correct rally design and offset, sitting correctly within the arches rather than tucked too far inboard, and the paint holds an even finish across the bonnet and roof despite the busy livery layered over it. As with any diecast at this scale, the body carries real weight, keeping the model settled and stable on a display shelf.
Group B's Place in a Rally Collection
Group B's brief and dramatic era, roughly the first half of the 1980s, produced some of rallying's most collected subjects, and the original four-wheel-drive Quattro sits near the start of that story rather than at its wilder, more extreme conclusion. Building a collection around this period rewards buyers who track specific results and liveries rather than simply accumulating rally-liveried diecast, since documented wins like this one carry more historical weight than an unattributed period scheme.
An Early Quattro Anchor Piece
This Blomqvist and Cederberg Quattro works well as an anchor for an early Group B shelf, sitting ahead chronologically of the later, more extreme Group B specials that followed once rival manufacturers caught up with four-wheel drive. Minichamps' 1:43 diecast makes it practical to build that kind of chronological rally story across several manufacturers and seasons without excessive shelf space. For anyone tracking Audi's rallying history, this documented 1982 victory is one of the more historically significant starting points available.
