This is the Opel Manta 400 Bastos #5 Rally Ypres 1985 in 1:18 scale by IXO.
The Opel Manta 400, sporting the Bastos livery and number 5, was driven by Grégoire de Mevius with co-driver Alain Lopes in the 1985 Rally Ypres. Grégoire de Mevius, a talented Belgian rally driver, tackled the challenging stages of the Ypres Rally, known for its fast, narrow tarmac roads and numerous tight junctions that require precise driving and exceptional car control. The 1985 Rally Ypres was particularly notable for its tricky conditions, including unpredictable weather and the demanding nature of the Belgian countryside roads. De Mevius and Lopes's performance in the Opel Manta 400 highlighted the car's power and agility, as well as their own skill and coordination, making a significant impact in this highly competitive event and adding to the rally's storied history.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
