About the Ford Transit Mk2 Van Team Rothmans Rally Assistance IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Ford Transit Mk2 Van reproduces Team Rothmans's rally assistance vehicle, carrying the sponsor's instantly recognisable period livery. Sealed diecast construction holds sharp graphics on a straightforward panel van, the working support vehicle behind Rothmans's motorsport programme.

Rothmans's livery ranks among motorsport's most recognisable sponsor identities, and seeing it applied to a humble support van rather than a competition car offers a genuinely different angle on that branding history.

Diecast Livery Detail on a Rally Support Van

The Transit's flat, straightforward panels give diecast an ideal stable surface for Rothmans's bold graphic treatment, and this casting reproduces that livery with sharp, legible branding across the van's bodywork. Sealed construction keeps the shut lines tight around the sliding door and rear panels, a single continuous casting rather than a shell with wider opening tolerances, appropriate for a subject whose visual interest lies entirely in its sponsor graphics rather than any interior detail. Zinc alloy gives genuine weight, honest for a working vehicle built for genuinely demanding rally support duties.

Collectors focused specifically on a sponsor's motorsport history, rather than a single team or driver, will find this van genuinely valuable, extending Rothmans's branding beyond the rally cars it more commonly appears on. Displayed alongside period rally cars carrying the same livery, it completes a fuller sponsorship story. Its van shape also adds useful visual variety to a shelf otherwise dominated by saloons and coupes.
