About the Lancia Stratos HF #2 Jolly Club A. Fassina / M. Mannini Rally Sanremo 1979 Sun Star 1:18

TL;DR: Sun Star's 1:18 diecast Lancia Stratos HF reproduces #2, Jolly Club's entry at the 1979 Rally Sanremo. Purpose-built for competition rather than adapted from a road car, the Stratos dominated world rallying through the mid-1970s with its Ferrari-derived V6 and dramatically compact wedge shape. A cornerstone piece for any WRC classic display.

Few rally cars were built with as little compromise as the Stratos, designed from a blank sheet purely to win. Sun Star's Jolly Club Sanremo entry captures that purpose-built philosophy in full competition dress.

A Rally Car Designed to Dominate

Lancia commissioned Bertone to design the Stratos specifically for rallying, an unusually pure approach compared to rivals that typically adapted existing road cars for competition, and the result was a dramatically short, wide, mid-engined shape powered by a Ferrari-derived V6 that gave it genuinely exceptional agility on tight, twisting rally stages. The car's competition record through the mid-1970s established it as one of the sport's defining machines, and by 1979, the year this Jolly Club-run Sanremo entry represents, the Stratos remained a genuinely competitive force even as newer designs began to emerge across the World Rally Championship grid. Jolly Club operated as one of Italy's most significant privateer and semi-works rally outfits, running Lancia machinery across numerous events and building a reputation as a serious competitive presence beyond the factory team itself. Rally Sanremo, run partly on Italian tarmac and gravel, demanded genuine all-round car and driver capability, exactly the kind of event where the Stratos's purpose-built design advantage showed clearly.

Diecast Detail on an Iconic Rally Livery

Sun Star renders the Stratos's distinctive wedge nose and wide rear haunches with genuine accuracy, and the Jolly Club livery's bold graphics and sponsor branding come through with sharp, legible definition. Diecast construction gives the compact body honest weight, and the car's dramatically flared arches and rally lighting setup are picked out cleanly. This sits within Sun Star's well-regarded motorsport range, appropriately priced for a subject that remains among the most sought-after rally diecast subjects from the entire 1970s era.

For a WRC classic collection, this Stratos entry represents rallying at its most purpose-built and uncompromising, a car that proved a clean-sheet design could beat adapted road cars outright.
