About the Volvo 240 Turbo Nordica #2 U. Granberg / T. Lindstrom ETCC Brno 1986 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Volvo 240 Turbo Nordica #2 reproduces U. Granberg and T. Lindstrom's entry at ETCC Brno 1986. Sealed diecast construction holds sharp Nordica sponsor livery on the 240's boxy Group A bodywork, a distinct season and colourway from the marque's other Beckers-era liveries.

By 1986, Volvo's touring car campaign had shifted sponsors and circuits, and this Brno entry represents a genuinely different chapter from the marque's earlier Zolder and Nurburgring outings.

Diecast Detail on the Nordica Sponsor Livery

The 240 Turbo's straightforward saloon panels continue to suit diecast's structural strength, and this casting reproduces the Nordica livery's specific graphic treatment with clean, legible branding across the boxy bodywork. Sealed construction keeps the shut lines tight around the doors and boot, and zinc alloy gives genuine weight, appropriate for a subject that competed in genuinely demanding endurance-format touring car racing. Brno's circuit demanded different setup considerations from Zolder or the Nurburgring, though the underlying casting remains the same familiar 240 Turbo silhouette collectors will recognise across the range.

Tracking Volvo's Touring Car Campaign Across Seasons

For collectors following Volvo's touring car history chronologically, this 1986 Brno entry marks a later chapter than the earlier Beckers-liveried cars, showing how sponsorship and driver line-ups evolved across the Group A era. Displayed alongside those earlier liveries, it demonstrates genuine season-to-season variation within a single manufacturer's campaign. A worthwhile addition to a Volvo or ETCC-focused touring car collection.
