Mugen Accord JTCC 1996 No. 16 [Mugen Part No. 90000-XGA-1043-96]

*This is a rare variation of the original Ebbro 45041 Accord sold by Mugen/M-TEC as an official license product that was sold in their catalog in Japan.

Ebbro 1/43 scale Honda Accord built by Mugen under the Castrol banner for the 1996 Japanese Touring Car Championship.

It must be noted that there are TWO different Castrol Accords. This is the #16 Mugen Dome Accord driven by Osamu Nakaku, finishing 2nd place overall during the 1996 JTCC season. The only few visual details about the two Accords that set them apart is the color of the front lip and logo placements.

The Ebbro models that first lead me down the rabbit hole of collecting these wonderful cars. There are five total Accords from JTCC that Ebbro made scale versions of which were the JACCS Accord, the two Castrol Mugen cars, the monotone PIAA Accord, and this one, prepped by Mooncraft in the '90s.

These Accords are INCREDIBLY difficult to come by. They are however, much newer than say, the NSXs or Supras from the Ebbro line-up. When found they're typically in like-new condition or never been opened-up. The beauty of these Accords becoming available so late into the company's existence is that they're also some of the most-detailed.

All 5 of the Accords are pretty rare and highly sought after.

- Condition is practically brand-new.
- Only opened once for inspection.
