Team Slot 12707 Ford Escort RS2000 Mk2 'Teboil Gold' - Juha Kankkunen, 1000 Lakes Rally 1979. Available now. RRP £54.95

       

Newly arrived from Spain is this lovely Team Slot model of the RS2000 that four-time world champion Juha Kankkunen drove at his debut WRC rally - the 1979 One Thousand Lakes Rally in his native Finland. Kankkunen and co-driver Timo Hantunen finish in 14th place, 26 minutes behind the winning car, the Fiat Abarth of Markku Alén and Ilkaa Kivimäki.

UK Team Slot distributor, Staffs Slot Cars have sent us some fabulous pictures of the detailing on the car to drool over...

       

       

   

I wonder how many Juha Kankkunen slot cars have been produced over the years? I suspect some of our rally fans will know...

The Escort is available now in the UK from Team Slot retailers, including MRE and Pendle Slot Racing. Expect to pay £5-£10 less than the RRP.

Thanks to Steve at Staffs Slot Cars UK for giving us permission to share the photos here.
