About the Ford Escort WRC #5 C. Sainz / L. Moya Winner Acropolis Rally 1997 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Ford Escort WRC reproduces the winning #5 driven by Carlos Sainz and Luis Moya at the 1997 Acropolis Rally. An outright victory from one of the WRC's most decorated driver and co-driver pairings, on one of the championship's toughest gravel events.

Carlos Sainz's name carries genuine weight among rally collectors, and a documented Acropolis win with Luis Moya alongside him gives this specific casting a stronger claim to significance than a simple participation livery.

A Winning Livery Rendered Faithfully

IXO's diecast carries the Escort WRC's four-wheel-drive rally silhouette, raised ride height and wide box arches, with the works Ford livery applied in clean, sharply registered decals across bonnet, roof and doors. The metal body's weight reflects the substantial construction expected of a genuine rally car replica, and the panel gaps stay tight around the flared arches, an area that can otherwise expose weaker tooling on a body already stretched wider than the standard Escort hatchback.

Sainz, Moya and the Acropolis Rally's Reputation

The Acropolis Rally's brutal, rock-strewn Greek stages have long tested car and crew reliability as much as outright speed, and a victory there against a full World Rally Car field says as much about the Escort's durability as its pace. Sainz and Moya's partnership produced numerous results across their WRC careers, making this a genuine highlight rather than an obscure footnote.

A Cornerstone for a Classic WRC Collection

This winning Escort pairs naturally with its #6 sister car from the same event, letting a collector display the full works team result from a single, genuinely significant rally weekend.
