IXO's 1:18 diecast Lada 2105 VFTS carries the #42 livery driven by S. Brundza at the 1984 Rally 1000 Lakes. The sealed zinc alloy body captures the Soviet-built rally car's boxy shape and printed sponsor detail. A genuinely unusual entry for a WRC classic collection.
About the Lada 2105 VFTS #42 S. Brundza Rally 1000 Lakes 1984 IXO 1:18
TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Lada 2105 VFTS recreates the #42 entry driven by S. Brundza at the 1984 Rally 1000 Lakes. Sealed zinc alloy body, printed period livery. A rare Soviet-built rally car for a genuinely broad WRC classic collection.
Lada's rally programme rarely gets the attention Lancia or Ford entries do, and this VFTS casting gives collectors a chance to document a genuinely less common corner of 1980s rallying.
Diecast Build for a Soviet-Era Rally Car
The zinc alloy body has real weight for a 1:18 piece, clearly denser than a plastic construction toy of similar size. Built as one sealed shell, the VFTS's boxy saloon shape and rally-spec arch flares are cast as continuous detail rather than fragile fitted parts. The printed sponsor graphics and #42 door number demand fine registration to read cleanly at this scale, a level of finish that shows IXO's motorsport specialism applies as much to niche subjects as to more famous ones.
A Rare Subject on a Rally Shelf
The VFTS was a purpose-built rally variant of the standard 2105 saloon, developed specifically to compete in international rallying despite the car's humble production-line origins. The 1000 Lakes Rally, held in Finland, has long been known for its demanding, fast gravel stages, and documenting a genuine entry there gives this casting real historical specificity. At 1:18, it sits as a genuine curiosity beside better-known Group B and Group A rally cars from the same era, broadening a WRC classic theme into territory most collections never reach.
For anyone building a genuinely comprehensive 1980s rallying collection, this casting fills a real gap that mainstream liveries alone cannot.
