About the Lada 2105 VFTS #159 E. Tumalevicius 1000 Lakes Rally 1987 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Lada 2105 VFTS carries #159's 1000 Lakes Rally 1987 livery for driver E. Tumalevicius, on a sealed one-piece body. New model, new box. A rare Soviet entrant among the Western manufacturers who usually dominate WRC-era diecast.

Soviet-built rally cars rarely appeared on Western event entry lists, which makes this Lada's presence at the 1000 Lakes Rally a genuine historical curiosity rather than a routine subject.

Sealed Diecast Detail on the VFTS Rally Car

This model is a fixed, one-piece diecast shell, and for a subject built around period rally graphics rather than mechanical detail, that construction suits the presentation well. The number plate surround, sponsor decals and body-colour split all run as continuous moulded surfaces, with shutlines scribed cleanly along the doors and bonnet edge. Zinc alloy gives the compact saloon body genuine weight in the hand, and panel lines hold tight, consistent tolerances typical of a well-tooled sealed casting. Without opening panels, judgement rests entirely on livery accuracy and stance, and this casting captures the boxy Lada silhouette and its period rally graphics with more conviction than the car's obscurity in Western markets might suggest.

A Rare Entry for a WRC Classics Collection

Most WRC-era collections lean heavily on familiar European and Japanese marques, and a genuine Soviet entrant like this Lada offers real variety, a reminder that rallying in the 1980s had a broader global reach than the mainstream diecast catalogue often suggests. It's a strong choice for anyone building depth rather than just breadth into a rally shelf.
