About the Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD ST185 #1 J. Kankkunen / J. Piironen Safari Rally 1993 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Toyota Celica ST185 reproduces Juha Kankkunen's #1 Safari Rally 1993 livery as a sealed, one-piece body. This championship-calibre driver pairing and the flared Group A bodywork define the piece. A cornerstone WRC classic.

Kankkunen's multiple world championships make his #1 Safari entry one of the more significant liveries in the ST185 story, and this diecast keeps that pairing accurate to the 1993 season.

A Sealed Body for a Championship Rally Car

This Celica is a fixed, one-piece zinc alloy casting, and the sealed body lets the widened Group A arches and Safari-spec protective bodywork sit as one continuous, uninterrupted surface. There are no opening panels here, so the #1 car number and Toyota Team Europe sponsor liveries carry the model's identity clearly, printed with the crispness a sealed shell allows across the flared bodywork and rally-spec bumpers.

Kankkunen's Place in Toyota's Rally History

Juha Kankkunen's championship success with Toyota's Group A programme places this specific driver pairing among the more historically significant liveries a Celica ST185 collection can include. The Safari Rally's demanding conditions tested every element of the car's engineering, and a #1 entry from a title-winning driver ties directly into that competitive record.

A Leading Piece for a Rally Collection

At 1:18, this Celica pairs naturally with its #2 and #3 Safari-liveried siblings from the same era, letting a collector build a complete period Toyota team grid. Displayed together, the different car numbers tell the fuller story of Toyota's Safari campaign. Keep the sealed body dusted and shielded from strong light to preserve the printed liveries.
