Tamiya used the chassis from the Audi Quattro to also make an Ascona Rally version. Many people think that the Ascona body looks better on the chassis, and look more true to the original. .

| This is the
only picture I have been able to find of the car that Tamiya
obviously looked at when making 58037. The car has Danish registration
number and was driven by Jens Ole Kristensen in the Danish rally
"Ford Sierra Rally" 21st august 1981. His co-pilot were probably
Mr. Hartwigsen.
As you can see, the decaling and helmet design was pretty much replicated by Tamiya. Now, why doesn't Tamiya mention the Dane in the Manual, but instead the German Walther Røhrl ? I do not know, but it is probably because Røhrl won the driver world championship in 1982 and since became a big name in rallying. In spite Jens Ole Kristensens numerous Danish championships in rallying, whit this very car, he could not compete with Røhrl on the world market, which is where Tamiya products are selling... So why not use the Walther Røhrl car as model then ? |
