About the Skoda 130 L Night Version #24 J. Augland Rally Monte Carlo 1987 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Skoda 130 L Night Version recreates car #24 from the 1987 Rally Monte Carlo, driven by J. Augland. The zinc alloy body is a sealed one-piece casting with a heavy auxiliary lamp bank for the event's night stages. A distinctive, rarely modelled Czechoslovak rally subject.

Monte Carlo's demanding night stages made auxiliary lighting a genuine competitive necessity, and this Skoda 130 L's Night Version specification reflects exactly the sort of practical engineering privateer and semi-works teams relied on through the winding, ice-affected roads above the Riviera.

Diecast Detail on a Night Stage Specification

This model is built as a fixed, one-piece zinc alloy shell, and the Night Version's defining feature, a dense bank of auxiliary lamps mounted across the front grille, is rendered with the sharp, individually defined housing edges diecast tooling manages confidently at this scale. Because the body has no opening panels, the model's presentation depends entirely on exterior finish, and here the Augland competition graphics are printed with clean registration, the scribed panel lines stay tight along the compact boxy shape, and the lamp bank's multiple housings read as distinct units rather than a blurred cluster. The Skoda's rear-engined layout gives it a subtly different silhouette compared with front-engined rivals from the same rally, a detail the model captures faithfully in its proportions.

A Distinctive Monte Carlo Subject

This 130 L offers genuine rarity within a Monte Carlo Rally or Eastern Bloc theme, standing apart from the more commonly modelled Western European entries from the same event. At 1:18 the Skoda's compact, boxy proportions sit comfortably alongside other 1980s rally saloons, and the prominent lamp bank gives it real visual distinction on a shelf even before considering its livery. Diecast models of this niche subject remain accessible in price, and its scarcity relative to Escort, Sierra or Manta subjects from the same period makes it a smart, characterful addition for anyone building genuine depth into a rally collection.
