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.
Peugeot 309 GTI 16v, Lombard RAC Rally 1:43 (VA11606)
Burns' prize for winning the 1990 Peugeot Challenge Championship (a win he repeated in 1991) was a works drive on the 1990 RAC Rally in a 309GTI, making the 19-year-old the youngest works driver in history at that point. His 28th place finish, shared with navigator Wayne Goble, was impressive enough for Peugeot to give Burns, and now regular co-driver Reid, more outings during 1991 in the more powerful 215bhp Group A 16v 309 modelled here. Their fast trouble-free drive to class victory on the 1991 RAC Rally was impressive and attracted favourable media attention, helping their burgeoning reputation.
