Citroën Xsara WRC Vitesse (catalunya 1998)

I bought this Citroën Xsara WRC on kapaza.be yesterday. It's one from Vitesse, that's the only reason I bought it. as yyou can see it's in pretty bad shape. the number on both sides is cut in half and other stickers are starting to come off. It came with it's original  box so I could let it for 5 euro's (1/12 the price if it was mint and boxed). it needs some love/work, but it's beautifull
When I came home with my purchase I was pretty optimistic.,Vitesse is a high quality brand. As it's already in weatered condition I decided to open it up. the damage at the inside is huge. seats come off, number plate, spoiler fell of, rollcage is broken... more work as I though


BUT the details are great! although the model is sealed, the interior is packed with details.



I started with rubbing away the rest of the number, I don't think I will put one back on. Next I have to put all the pieces back on and paint the top white.

    here we knew this model thru altaya collection,
    but the collectible model, for sure had a poor inside.

  5. Vitesse is known for it's amazing details, but the downfall of this model is, as you can see, that the decals are very sensitive.
    No bad words about altaya though, I think they are great value for money (the Citroën CX pallas eg.)
