1/43 MAD MODELS This is the Group 2 car with bib number 196, driven by Rodegher at the historic Rally Due Valli held in Italy in 1978.
The car encapsulates the tension of the "hot hatch rally" era, with its four-lamp fog lights for night stages, the distinctively flared overfenders of Group 2, and the exquisitely deep-dish four-spoke wheels.
The highly niche sponsor logos of the time, such as "PIAVE JOLLY CLUB," "JEANS WEST," and "SOAVE," are meticulously reproduced down to the smallest detail of the body, reflecting the local Italian rally culture. This rally version of the A112 Abarth, beloved by Italian car fans for its "scorpion venom," features a refreshing light blue body adorned with colorful decals from that era, and the yellow four-lamp fog lights at the front give it an exceptionally cool appearance.
