This is the Toyota Celica Gt-Four ST165 Bastos #5 Rally Haspengouw 1990 in 1:18 scale by IXO.

The Toyota Celica GT-Four ST165, bearing the number 5 and sponsored by Bastos, was driven by Rudi Verreydt with co-driver Guy Biar in the 1990 Rally Haspengouw. Rudi Verreydt, a proficient Belgian rally driver, took on the challenging Belgian rally stages known for their narrow, twisty roads and unpredictable weather conditions. The 1990 Rally Haspengouw stood out for its demanding tarmac sections that required both high-speed precision and robust handling. The Toyota Celica GT-Four ST165, with its advanced all-wheel-drive system and turbocharged engine, was particularly well-suited to these conditions. Verreydt and Biar's performance highlighted the car's capabilities and their own driving prowess, making a significant impact in this competitive rally and showcasing the potential of the Celica GT-Four in European rallying events.
