Norev's 1:18 diecast Simca 1000 Rally 2 wears deep Racing Green over its purposeful 1976 body. A sportier take on the everyday Simca sedan, built for a performance-leaning display.
About the Simca 1000 Rally 2 Racing Green Norev 1:18
TL;DR: This Norev 1:18 diecast Simca 1000 Rally 2 reproduces the 1976 rally-derived sedan in Racing Green. Built on the standard 1000's platform but tuned for performance, it gives collectors a sportier French sedan variant to pair with the everyday model, in accessible zinc alloy diecast.
The Rally 2 took Simca's humdrum family sedan and sharpened it into something genuinely quick, and this diecast's deep green finish signals that sportier intent immediately.
A Sportier Diecast Treatment
Racing Green reads with more depth than the standard sedan's brighter tones, and Norev's paint holds that richness evenly across the flat sedan panels. The Rally 2's more purposeful stance, with subtle body addenda distinguishing it from the base 1000, comes through in the casting's proportions rather than any exaggerated styling. Zinc alloy gives the model consistent weight regardless of trim level, and the shut lines match the standard-tier quality seen across Norev's 1000 range. This is the same honest diecast approach applied to a more focused subject.
Simca's Rally Homologation Effort
Simca developed the Rally variants of the 1000 to compete in motorsport, taking the everyday rear-engined platform and extracting genuine performance from it for rallying. That gave an otherwise ordinary family car a competitive second life, and the Rally 2 represents a further step up that lineage before Simca moved on to other performance projects. For collectors, displaying the Rally 2 alongside the standard 1000 LS tells a clear before-and-after story about how a mainstream platform got reworked for competition.
Pairing Everyday and Sporting Simcas
At 1:18 the Rally 2 shares its compact footprint with the standard sedan, so the two display naturally side by side without a mismatch in scale or presence. The deeper green tone contrasts well against brighter period colours on a shared shelf, and its subtly sportier stance rewards a closer look rather than a passing glance. It suits collectors building a French performance theme or simply wanting the fuller Simca 1000 story in one cabinet.
