Fiat 131 Abarth Matchbox 1982 Superfast 1:51 Alitalia rally car

This diecast model depicts a Fiat 131 Abarth prepared for rally competition. The model is made in 1:51 scale, combining a die-cast metal body with plastic components. The white body is decorated with bold green and red rally stripes and Alitalia lettering. Starting number 3 is visible on the sides, reinforcing the miniature's authentic competition appearance. There is a characteristic rear spoiler, while the black plastic base contrasts with the light-coloured body. The proportions reflect the compact, wide rally car shape of the turn of the 1970s and 1980s. This example was produced in Macau in 1982 and is offered as a loose model in the condition described as Loose, so it may show signs of previous use.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
