About the Volvo 240 Turbo Beckers #33 Andersson / Petersson / Linder ETCC Zolder 1985 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Volvo 240 Turbo Beckers #33 reproduces the ETCC Zolder 1985 entry driven by Andersson, Petersson and Linder. Sealed diecast construction holds sharp team livery on the 240's boxy, upright saloon bodywork, a genuinely distinctive Group A touring car subject.

The turbocharged 240's box-shaped saloon body made it an unlikely-looking touring car racer, yet Beckers' Volvo squad campaigned it with genuine success across the European Touring Car Championship's Group A era.

Diecast Casting of a Boxy Touring Car

The 240's flat, upright panels are straightforward shapes for diecast to hold crisply, and this casting keeps the saloon's simple lines sharp without the softening a compound curve might otherwise introduce. Sealed construction means the whole shell, roof to sills, presents as one continuous body, with tight shut lines around the doors that stay consistent under inspection. Beckers' distinctive team livery, applied across the 240's flat body panels, is reproduced with clean, legible graphics, a genuine test of a diecast surface's ability to hold sharp sponsor branding. Zinc alloy gives the piece real weight, appropriate for a subject that competed in genuinely demanding endurance-style touring car racing.

A Distinctive Subject for Touring Car Collectors

The 240 Turbo's box-shaped silhouette gives a touring car shelf genuine visual variety against the sleeker coupes more commonly reproduced from this era. Its three-driver crew, Andersson, Petersson and Linder, reflects the endurance format many ETCC rounds followed, worth noting for anyone researching the entry's full context. Displayed alongside its Nurburgring-liveried sibling from the same season, the pairing shows Beckers' campaign across multiple rounds of that Group A year.
