Fiat 131 Abarth 1980 Rallye Monte Carlo in 1:18 scale
This is the Fiat 131 Abarth 1980 Rallye Monte Carlo in 1:18 scale by Solido.
The Fiat 131 Abarth was a dominant force in rallying during the late 1970s and early 1980s, and its entry in the 1980 Rallye Monte Carlo was no exception. Piloted by Walter Röhrl, one of rallying’s most precise and fearless drivers, the car showcased its lightweight body, rear-wheel-drive layout, and powerful 2.0L engine, which allowed it to tackle Monte Carlo’s treacherous mix of icy mountain passes and narrow tarmac stages with exceptional agility. What made the 1980 Monte Carlo Rally particularly unique was the unpredictable winter conditions—drivers had to manage snow, ice, and dry asphalt all within the same stage—demanding a combination of tactical tire choices, nerve, and finesse. Röhrl’s skillful handling of the 131 Abarth under these extreme conditions helped cement both his reputation and the Fiat 131’s legacy as one of the era’s most versatile and competitive rally cars.
This exquisite model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish.
Other features include:
• Opening Doors
• Accurate and highly detailed Interior
• Accuracy of scale and exterior shape
