The Richard Burns Collection

The Richard Burns Foundation and Corgi have teamed up to create a series of six highly detailed 1:43 scale quality die-cast collectable models representing the most memorable rally cars of England's one and only World Rally Champion.  Each model is presented in a display case and comes complete with a collector card listing the story of that particular car.  Every model sold will provide a contribution to the Richard Burns Foundation to help support its continuing charitable work in the 2001 champion’s name.

New Release - Subaru Legacy RS (Group A), Manx International Rally 1:43 (VA11804)

Richard Burns and Robert Reid entered the British Open Championship in a Group A Subaru Legacy.  Against very strong opposition Burns and Reid clinched the Championship with a fine victory on the Manx in the car modelled here.  Richard Burns, at 22, was the youngest ever British Rally Champion.

Also Available - Talbot Sunbeam 1.6 Newtown Stages Rally 1988 1:43 (VA11307)

Richard Burns' first rally in this Talbot Sunbeam was in May 1988 with experienced navigator John King, an unflappable dentist from Wokingham, providing a steadying hand and the entrance fee. The pair did far better than anyone could have expected; the slow rise to stardom had begun.

Also Available - Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9 Kayel Graphics Rally 1991 1:43 (VA12703)

This Peugeot 205 was bought by friends and family of Richard Burns with the plan to run it from the prize money they were convinced would come.  Despite the pressure, he drove consistently fast but cleanly enough to keep the car safe and won the Peugeot Challenge in 1990 and 1991.  During this period he teamed up with Robert Reid and they would remain a partnership for the rest of their careers.
