1/43 GLAMOUR Automodelli The Fiat 128 took the European Touring Car Championship (ETC) of the 1970s by storm, despite its compact stature. Now, we present the Group 1 specification car fielded by the "Mineif-Trivellato" team—a machine that delivered particularly spirited performances.
Group 1 racing required cars to remain largely in their production-model configuration; it was precisely this constraint that allowed the Fiat 128's inherent potential—and Trivellato's own "secret touch"—to shine. This model perfectly encapsulates that raw, Spartan racing spirit.
The vibrant Italian tricolor stripe running along the hood is more than just a design element; it represents the pride of an Italian car challenging the world stage, serving as a testament that Car No. 124 was far more than "just a small car" in the ETC of that era.
Even the small rear emblem has been meticulously reproduced; those tiny characters serve as a reminder of the impressive performance capabilities of the original production model.
This "Fiat 128" is produced by GLAMOUR—a sub-brand of TRON, the renowned Italian manufacturer of high-end handmade resin models. Unlike mass-produced die-cast miniatures, this is an exceptionally rare collector's item (available as a handmade finished model or resin kit), crafted by artisans in very limited quantities.
