The 1995 World Rally Championship saw a change in fortunes for Subaru and Prodrive. Having spent a couple of years developing the Group A Impreza the '95 car was finally to prove successful, culminating in Scottish rally legend Colin McRae winning the Driver's title.
The Monte Carlo was the traditional season opener for the WRC and 1995 was no different. Three works teams entered the event along ensuring this was to be one of the hardest fought Monte Carlo Rallies. Ironically the rally developed into a battle between the works (Prodrive) Subaru Impreza 555 of Carlos Sainz / Luis Moya and the privately run R.A.S Ford Escort Cosworth of Francois Delecour / Catherine Francois. Special stage 18 (from a total of 21) was the deciding one as suspension damage saw Delecour limp out of the stage allowing Sainz to claim an impressive and hard fought victory.
Pictured above is a CM's 1:64 scale model of the victorious Carlos Sainz / Luis Moya Group A Impreza 555. An excellent small scale model the detailing is doubly impressive when you consider this model is the size of a matchbox..... Imported from Hong Kong there aren't many of these models in Europe which adds to the attraction!
As with all my non-Porsche models this is for sale / swap; priced around £6.00 Contact me for more details.
