Skoda 130 RS #44 Rallye WM Rally Monte Carlo 1977 M.Zapadlo/J.Motal 1:24th Scale by IXO Models.

The Skoda 130 RS stands as a remarkable chapter in Eastern European motorsport history. Developed in the 1970s, this lightweight, high-performance variant of the Skoda 130 was purpose-built for rally competition, featuring a tuned engine and aggressive aerodynamics that made it a formidable contender on gravel stages across Europe. The 1977 Monte Carlo Rally entry #44, piloted by the skilled Czech crew of Miloš Západlo and Jiří Motál, exemplified the car's competitive pedigree during an era when Skoda was establishing itself as a serious rally manufacturer. Despite competing against more established Western marques, the 130 RS earned respect for its reliability, handling, and driver-focused engineering—qualities that defined Skoda's rally programme throughout the late 1970s. This 1:24th scale model faithfully captures the period-correct livery and technical details of that historic Monte Carlo entry, making it an essential piece for collectors of rally history and Eastern European automotive heritage.
