About the Subaru Impreza WRC #5 R. Burns / R. Reid Rally de France 1999 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Subaru Impreza WRC carries R. Burns and R. Reid's 1999 Rally de France livery. The blue-and-gold rally colours and gravel-spec detailing make this a recognisable World Rally Championship subject in diecast, aimed at collectors of the late-1990s Subaru works era.

The Impreza WRC's blue and gold livery became one of the most recognisable colour schemes in rallying history, and 1999 sat right in the middle of Subaru's competitive works period.

Reproducing a Rally-Specification Impreza

The livery on this casting carries the layered sponsor graphics typical of a full works entry, printed with clean edges across the bonnet vents and rear spoiler mounting. AUTOart's zinc alloy body gives the model genuine heft, distinguishing it clearly from a lighter promotional Impreza sold at retail. Rally-specific touches, including auxiliary spot lamps and underbody protection visible from certain angles, separate this from a standard road-going Impreza replica. Panel gaps stay reasonably tight given the added surface detail rally bodywork demands, and the wheel design matches the period gravel-spec pattern rather than the road car's alloys. Interior detail is kept functional, with the roll cage outline visible through the glazing rather than a fully detailed cabin, which is consistent with diecast rally models at this tier and keeps the collecting focus on the exterior livery.

Building a Late-1990s WRC Shelf

Rally de France 1999 sat within a season where Subaru and its Japanese rivals fought closely for championship points, and this model works well displayed beside a contemporaneous Lancer Evolution VI or Toyota Corolla WRC to show that competitive spread. At 1:18, the Impreza's saloon proportions occupy a similar footprint to its road-going cousin, so it integrates easily into a themed rally cabinet. For anyone tracing the blue-and-gold Subaru era chronologically, this is a solidly built entry point rather than a rarity, and it holds its own on close inspection.
