About the Subaru Legacy RS #21 C. McRae / D. Ringer RAC Rally 1991 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Subaru Legacy RS recreates car #21 from the 1991 RAC Rally, driven by Colin McRae and Derek Ringer. The zinc alloy body is a sealed one-piece casting from before McRae's breakthrough success. A notable early chapter in a legendary British rallying career.

Colin McRae's partnership with Subaru would eventually produce a World Championship title, and this Legacy RS entry from his home RAC Rally in 1991 captures the driver years before that fame, in a car that predates the more famous Impreza era.

Diecast Build of an Early-1990s Subaru Rally Saloon

This Legacy is cast as a fixed, one-piece zinc alloy shell, and the metal handles the saloon's relatively conventional early-1990s shape with confidence: flared arches accommodate wide rally tyres, and a subtly raised stance distinguishes the car from its road-going counterpart. Because the panels are sealed, the model's fidelity depends entirely on exterior finish, and here the scribed body lines run tight and the McRae and Ringer livery is applied with clean, legible sponsor graphics and correctly registered competition numbering. Diecast tooling copes well with the Legacy's boxy but slightly softened saloon lines, holding the shape with more solidity than a lighter material would provide, appropriate for a car built to survive Britain's demanding forest stages.

A Significant Early Chapter for Collectors

This Legacy holds particular interest for anyone tracing Colin McRae's career from its earliest stages through to his eventual World Rally Championship title, offering a genuinely different look at Subaru's rallying history compared with the more commonly modelled Impreza generations. At 1:18 the Legacy's saloon proportions give it a distinct silhouette against the smaller, more overtly aggressive rally coupes of the following decade, a useful marker of how quickly rally car design would change through the 1990s. Diecast models of this subject remain relatively accessible in price given its status as a lesser-known chapter compared with McRae's later Impreza fame, making it a smart pickup for a specialist collection.
