New from Trofeu - LMA02

Alpine Renault A110 - 4th Tour de Corse 1974 - J.P. Manzagol / Filippi

In 1974, despite being awarded a 10 minute time penalty at the start of the Tour De Corse Rally, Jean Pierre Manzagol managed to overcome the deficit and finished in 4th place. He was also the highest placed privateer driver to finish.

LMA02 is the second release in Trofeu's La Magie de L'Asphalte series, these are produced predominently for the French market, hence the inlay card being in French.

Withers of Winsford Escort MK1’s .

From their base in the Cheshire town of Winsford, the company “Withers of Winsford” regularly beat the big boys at their game during the early to mid 70’s. Drivers such as Roger Clark, Chris Sclater and Brian Culcheth ran with their sponsorship on various ex work MK1 Escorts sourced from Boreham. With a lot of help from Cal Withers and Chris Sclater, we are able to release very accurate 1/43 scale versions of these cars, based on the excellent detailed models supplied from Trofeu.

Please check the Withers of Winsford section of this site for more details of our plans.

Initially by the end of 2006 we will have available:

W1- Chris Sclater/Martin Holmes XOO354F MK1 Escort Circuit of Ireland Rally 71

W2- Brian Culcheth /Johnston Syer AVX578G RAC Rally 1971

Soon to be released from Trofeu in the BRL Series

To be released by the end of 2006, by Trofeu in the British Rally Legends Series, is BRL04. Limited and numbered to 1204 models, in 1/43 scale, complete with gate fold box and extra detailing. The next release will be:

BRL04 Pentti Airikkala / Mike Greasley in their David Sutton Motorsport prepared, Team Avon Tyres sponsored Ford Escort MK2 RS1800, MLD999P. 1976 Lombard RAC Rally £36.99.
To reserve one please e-mail andy@rallymodels.co.uk.

This was the Ford B Team on the event, and Pentti was leading the event for most of the four days, until clutch failure caused retirement just three stages from the end of the rally (and those were the days of real rallies, 60+ stages over four days and nights !). Another twist being, the Team Avon Tyres sponsored car actually used Dunlop’s for the whole event !

MLD999P was a well used car, with its white bodyshell, and orange stripes,sponsored by Gandy Brakes it competed with Roger Clark on the Lindisfarne Rally, the open championship with Ari Vatanen that year, 1000 Lakes with Pentti, and has been resurrected in the last few year by David Sutton’s Historic Motorsport for use by Stig Blomquist on Classic Events around the world.
