About the Ford Escort WRC #7 J. Kankkunen / J. Repo RAC Rally 1998 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Ford Escort WRC reproduces Juha Kankkunen's #7 car from the 1998 RAC Rally. A four-time world rally champion competing on British forest stages gives this diecast genuine documented significance for a WRC or Ford rally collection.

The RAC Rally's forest stages have humbled plenty of talented drivers, and Kankkunen's championship pedigree makes his 1998 Escort WRC entry a genuinely credible piece of that history.

IXO's Rally-Specific Diecast Detail

IXO builds a genuinely rally-focused range, and this Escort WRC carries the wide box arches, prominent rally lighting pods, and mud-flap detail that separate it visually from a road-going Escort, with the #7 livery and period sponsor decals reproduced through fine tampo printing. Diecast construction suits the rugged, function-first rally body well, and the model's stance sits notably lower and wider than a standard Escort hatchback, reflecting the genuine competition modifications the real car carried.

A Four-Time Champion on Home British Roads

Juha Kankkunen won four World Rally Championship titles across his career, and by 1998 his experience made him a genuine threat on any event, including the RAC Rally's demanding British forest stages that have historically favoured local knowledge. Ford's Escort WRC competed through the mid-to-late 1990s as the manufacturer's works rally weapon, and this specific event and driver combination gives the model documented historical weight. For a UK-based rally collector, a British round entry from a driver of Kankkunen's calibre is a genuinely strong addition.
