This Citroën ZX Rallye Raid N°200 miniature immortalises one of the most iconic vehicles of the 1995 Paris-Dakar Rally. Reproduced with remarkable attention to detail, this collectible piece captures the very essence of the Dakar adventure in its 17th edition. The faithful reproduction of this Citroën die-cast car makes it a valuable testament to the history of French motorsport.
Designed for rally enthusiasts and discerning collectors, this miniature is much more than a simple decorative object. It embodies the spirit of conquest and the technical excellence that built Citroën's reputation in the most extreme competitions on the planet.
Developed specifically for African rally-raids in the early 1990s, the Citroën ZX Rallye Raid represented the pinnacle of the French maker's off-road competition engineering. Based on the production ZX, this raid version featured substantial modifications: reinforced suspension, additional fuel tanks, underbody protection and state-of-the-art navigation equipment for the period.
The N°200 entry in the 1995 Paris-Dakar perfectly embodied the Citroën philosophy: combining technical innovation and reliability in the harshest conditions. With its turbocharged four-cylinder engine and four-wheel drive, this ZX was built to tackle the Saharan dunes, rocky tracks and the endless expanses of the African continent.
The 1995 Paris-Dakar marked an important milestone for Citroën, which was strengthening its position among the leading manufacturers in international rally-raid. This ZX Rallye Raid showed the French maker's ability to turn a family saloon into a formidable competition machine.
In the mid-1990s, Citroën was going through a period of creative and technical renewal. The double-chevron brand, drawing on its heritage of innovation pioneered by André Citroën, sought to regain its avant-garde image through its competition efforts. The development of the ZX Rallye Raid fitted into this strategy of rebuilding sporting excellence.
Citroën's history, since 1919, has always been characterised by a revolutionary approach to the automobile. From the early Traction Avant to the groundbreaking DS, through the popular 2CV, the brand constantly pushed the limits of what was possible. In the 1990s, this spirit of innovation came to life in extreme competitions like the Paris-Dakar, an ideal laboratory for testing the most advanced technologies.
The ZX Rallye Raid perfectly embodied this Citroën DNA: turning the impossible into reality through French ingenuity and a novel technical approach that set the brand apart from its European and Japanese rivals.
The 1995 Paris-Dakar Rally remains etched in memory as one of the most gruelling editions in the history of this legendary race. Starting from Granada in Spain to reach Dakar in Senegal, this 17th edition already promised to be exceptional, with an unprecedented route crossing Spain, Morocco, Mauritania and Senegal over more than 8,000 kilometres.
The Citroën ZX Rallye Raid crews, including number 200, faced not only fierce competition from rival manufacturers but also the whims of particularly hostile weather that year. The sandstorms of Western Sahara and the torrential rains of southern Morocco turned every stage into a real test of mechanical and human endurance.
The 1995 edition also marked the peak of the Paris-Dakar's media popularity in France. Millions of viewers followed the drivers' adventures each day through television reports, making these Citroën ZX models popular icons that transcended the sporting framework to become symbols of adventure and self-overcoming.
The image of these ZX Rallye Raids charging across the Saharan immensity, kicking up clouds of golden dust under the African sun, remains one of the most iconic representations of the Dakar spirit and French excellence in rally-raid.
This Citroën ZX Rallye Raid N°200 fits naturally at the heart of a collection dedicated to Paris-Dakar rally vehicles. It pairs perfectly with other iconic models from this legendary competition, creating a cohesive set that traces the evolution of rally-raid machines over the decades.
Collectors passionate about the Citroën universe will especially appreciate this piece, which complements the brand's other legendary models. It sits harmoniously alongside the Citroën DS, the 2CV or the Type H, illustrating the diversity and richness of French automotive heritage.
This miniature appeals to seasoned collectors as well as enthusiasts of rally and motorsport. Its exemplary finish and historical authenticity make it a prized piece for anyone who wants to own a tangible fragment of the Dakar epic and French technical excellence. It is also an excellent entry point for starting a themed collection around French competition cars.

In addition to the fact that the 1/43 miniatures received are perfectly in line with the photographs and my expectations and are of great finesse, they arrived very quickly (I was even informed of the shipment) and very carefully packaged. Very satisfied, I placed a new order with Bernard Miniatures, a seller I recommend for their selection and reliability.
The scale is the reduction ratio between the real car and the model. At 1:43 scale, for example, every centimetre of the model represents 43 centimetres of the real vehicle.
In practice, a 1:18 Ferrari model is about 25–30 cm long, while at 1:43 it measures roughly 10 cm.
Our model cars mainly come in 1:43, 1:24, 1:18 and 1:87 (HO) scale. The scale is always listed on the product page.
The smaller the second number, the bigger the model (e.g. 1:18 is larger than 1:43).
Yes, every model car ships in its protective box. The box preserves its collector value and protects your model from dust and knocks.
We pack every order with great care: bubble wrap, snug padding and polystyrene. Your model car is fully secured on its way to you.
In-stock items ship within 24–48h. Allow 2–3 business days for mainland France with Colissimo, or 4–5 days with Mondial Relay.
I can't say exactly when new stock will arrive, as it comes in a trickle. Feel free to contact me and I'll let you know as soon as it's available.
