Volvo 142 #5 H. Mikkola Rally 1000 Lakes 1973, MCG, 1:18, MCG18529R

The Volvo 142 might be known for its boxy styling and Swedish durability, but in the hands of rally legend Hannu Mikkola, it became a serious competitor on the world stage. At the 1973 Rally 1000 Lakes in Finland — one of the toughest and fastest gravel rallies in the WRC calendar — Mikkola showcased the 142’s unlikely agility and endurance in car #5.

This 1:18 scale model by MCG (Model Car Group) replicates that exact vehicle, faithfully capturing its rally-spec form, complete with period-correct decals, sponsor markings, and Mikkola’s racing number. Model MCG18529R features accurate proportions, chrome detailing, rally wheels, and the no-nonsense stance of a classic Scandinavian rally machine.

Whether you’re a Volvo enthusiast, WRC history fan, or simply a collector of vintage motorsport heroes, this die-cast brings a unique chapter of 1970s rallying to life — where simplicity, strength, and driver skill made all the difference.

A must-have for any 1:18 rally display that values grit over glamour and real racing heritage.
