IXO's 1:18 diecast Lada 2105 VFTS #37 reproduces H. Ohu's entry at Rally Acropolis 1983, a genuinely rare surviving example of Soviet-era rallying reaching the World Rally Championship. Sealed diecast construction holds sharp livery and the VFTS's boxy saloon bodywork. A distinctive piece for WRC classic collectors.
About the Lada 2105 VFTS #37 H. Ohu Rally Acropolis 1983 IXO 1:18
TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Lada 2105 VFTS #37 reproduces H. Ohu's entry at Rally Acropolis 1983. Sealed diecast construction holds sharp livery on a genuinely rare Soviet-era rally car, one of few Eastern Bloc entries to reach international WRC competition during this period.
The VFTS represented a homologated performance variant of Lada's everyday 2105 saloon, built specifically to give Soviet rallying a genuine competitive presence on the international stage.
Diecast Casting of a Rare Eastern Bloc Rally Saloon
The 2105's straightforward, boxy saloon shape suits diecast's structural strength, and this casting keeps the VFTS's flat panels sharp without softening at the corners, a genuine benefit of metal construction over a more delicate resin equivalent. Sealed construction holds the shut lines tight around the doors and boot, appropriate for a subject whose historical rarity matters more than any interior detail a buyer might otherwise seek. Zinc alloy gives the piece real weight, and the livery, likely simple by Western sponsor standards of the era, is reproduced with clean, legible graphics across the saloon's flat body panels.
A Genuinely Uncommon Rally Subject
Soviet-era competition cars rarely receive scale model treatment outside specialist ranges, which makes this VFTS a genuinely distinctive addition for collectors interested in rallying's Cold War-era margins rather than the usual Western European manufacturers. Displayed beside more familiar WRC classics from the same period, its unusual origin and simpler engineering stand out immediately. A worthwhile curiosity piece for anyone building a broadly international 1980s rally collection.
