Hope so! The car will be more or less like this

And Ixo-Altaya will make some Peugeot 207 S2000, in Portugal they will edit the Magalhaes one, and here in Spain it is said to be made the Peugeot from Ojeda in last Principe de Asturias

Will the Spanish version be part of the Nuestros Campeones de Rallyes series?

Yes, if it becomes true of course

Two shots of the HPI San Remo 86 Delta S4 twin set I've just received. Not so sure about buying the Toivonen set though as it has his 86Corsica car....

sal, I was looking at the HPI website yesterday. Are their models as good as they claim to be? From where did you get that S4 twin-set?

IMO absolutley! Their 05 and 06 Impreza WRcs have the right body/arch extension widths and look so much better in profile than Ixo and Autoart's offerings. At first I thought their Lancia 037 looked a bit odd but when re-visiting it is just perfect and they even go to the extent of using the correct wheel rim design as 037's very rarely ran the same style of rim back and front (especially the Jolly Club). As for engine transmission detail it's spot on and as I believe their cheif designer was recruited from Kyosho you can perhaps understand why

I got Delta twin set from EWA in the States but did so as was taking advantage of the strong £ to $ rate and had a reasonable sized order from them to negate the import duty I had to pay. If you look at Ebay in the States (a lot of HPI stuff on there) and the seller sends as a gift on the Customs form you should get a cracking deal.

HPI now have a distributer in the UK however the recommended selling price for a single model is between £29-£35!

They have some great releases planned looking at the website even though like most Jap manufacturers they seem obsessed by Lancia! Especially looking forward to the 92 Monte Deltona of Auriol.

Wow! IXO models for £7! Think I'll be having a sizeable order from them too.

Thanks. :up:

No problem! Just remember there will be import duty to pay as EWA dont include it in the carriage.

As we were talking about Duval running in Ixo colours on the Condroz in a Punto S2000 seen on another thread this picture so watch out for a future release from them!

As long you look only on the Outside of the Models, yes !
The Inside is only poor, look at the Dashbpoard:
