About the BMW 2002 #11 A. Warmbold / J. Todt RAC Rally 1973 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast BMW 2002 #11 recreates A. Warmbold and J. Todt's 1973 RAC Rally entry. New model, new packaging, sealed one-piece body carrying the period livery and number boards on the exterior. A specific period competition piece for a WRC classic or BMW motorsport shelf.

Long before Jean Todt led Ferrari's Formula 1 programme and later the FIA, he sat alongside Achim Warmbold navigating BMW 2002s through Britain's forest stages, a detail that gives this particular RAC Rally entry an unusual footnote in motorsport history.

Diecast Construction and a Specific Period Crew Livery

The zinc alloy body gives this rally saloon genuine substance in the hand, and the shell is sealed, with no opening doors or bonnet, keeping the competition livery as one unbroken surface across the whole car. That construction suits a rally replica particularly well, since the number board, sponsor decals and driver identification all need to sit flush and continuous, something a fixed body manages more reliably than a panel with a hinge line running through the design. The period-correct ride height and rally wheel design reflect the setup these BMW 2002s needed for the RAC's mix of forest tracks and tarmac transits, and the number 11 boards are picked out with reasonable clarity for a diecast at this tier. As a sealed casting, the model rewards attention to livery accuracy and stance rather than mechanical access. New model, new packaging, ready for display.

A Distinct Entry Within a Broader Rally Collection

Displayed beside other 1973 RAC Rally BMW 2002 entries, this piece adds genuine variety to a period rally shelf through its specific crew pairing and livery rather than duplicating an already-represented subject. The BMW 2002's forest-rally credentials sit at the root of the brand's later motorsport reputation, giving context to the M division that followed decades later. For collectors interested in the personalities behind period liveries as much as the cars themselves, the Todt connection adds a layer of interest beyond the standard rally-history appeal. At diecast pricing, it remains an accessible way to build depth into a 1970s WRC classic collection, and pairing multiple period entries from the same event highlights how differently teams and crews approached the same demanding rally.
