About the Skoda 130 LR #22 S. Kvaizar / J. Janecek Rally Acropolis 1986 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Skoda 130 LR recreates car #22 from the 1986 Rally Acropolis, driven by S. Kvaizar and J. Janecek. The zinc alloy body is a sealed one-piece casting of the rear-engined saloon's compact shape. A genuinely unusual rally subject rarely modelled at this scale.

The Skoda 130 LR's rear-engined layout made it a genuine oddity in the competitive world of Group B and Group A rallying, its Czechoslovak engineering proving surprisingly effective against Western European rivals on the demanding Acropolis Rally's rough, hot terrain.

Diecast Detail on a Rear-Engined Rally Saloon

This model is built as a fixed, one-piece zinc alloy shell, and the Skoda's compact, boxy saloon shape suits diecast's strength for straight, defined body lines. Because the body has no opening panels, the model's fidelity rests entirely on exterior finish, and here that means the scribed panel lines stay tight along the doors and boot, auxiliary lamps are correctly positioned across the front grille, and the Kvaizar and Janecek competition graphics are printed with clean registration against the base colour. The rear-engined layout gives the 130 LR a subtly different proportion to front-engined rivals, a slightly heavier-looking rear end that the model captures faithfully. Diecast's weight and rigidity suit a car built to survive rough, unforgiving Mediterranean rally terrain.

A Rare Eastern Bloc Subject for Collectors

This Skoda offers genuine rarity value within a WRC Classic collection, given how infrequently Eastern Bloc rally cars from this period are modelled compared with the more familiar British, French and Scandinavian entries. At 1:18 the 130's compact, boxy proportions sit comfortably alongside other rally saloons from the mid-1980s, and its distinctive mechanical layout offers a genuine point of technical interest for anyone who enjoys the engineering variety this period of rallying produced. Diecast models of this niche subject remain accessible in price, and its relative scarcity in most collections makes it a smart pickup for anyone seeking to broaden their rally display beyond the usual Western European marques.
