And 2002 was a great year for Gronholm who won the Drivers Championships with 77 points total and winning the Manufacturers Championship also with 165 points total.

Now, I present to you the winning Neste Rally of Finland 2002 Peugeot 206 WRC in 1:43 scale which was made by Solido. I love the detail on the windows having it half open!

    WOW I have the 1/64 from CM'S but your 1/43 is very very impressive.
    Gray car with Yellow back ground is nice.
