Two more rally liveries are in production and expected at the end of the summer (la vuelta del verano)...
The first is the 308 GTB that Antonio Zanini and Josep Autet drove at the 1984 Rallye Catalunya. Although retiring from this rally, the pair won the Spanish rally Championship and also made overseas ERC appearances, including third at the Targa Florio.
There aren't many images of the car at this rally - the livery did change subtly through the season - but I did find one on the McKlein database. This showed that the EV film decal on the bonnet has a 3D effect with multiple shades of blue - something other models have failed to capture. The Avant Slot artwork doesn't either. The McKlein image also shows plush red seats - so I hope we get those on the Avant Slot model!
The second new livery is of a car that retired from the 1983 Rallye Monte-Carlo. This privately-entered 308 GTB was driven by Dominique and Michèle Gauthier in the French Championship during 1982 and early 1983, the pair then switching to a Lancia 037 Rally. The same 308 GTB reappeared as the #0 course car at the 2001 Rallye National de Saint-Marcellin.
This Gauthier Ferrari has been modelled as a 1:43 diecast by Best - and the Avant Slot artwork looks identical.
