In short
A 1:43 scale model of the Opel Commodore GS/E No. 42 that won the 1977 Rally Vila do Conde overall, driven by Joaquim Moutinho. Produced in die-cast metal by Trofeu.

The Opel Commodore B GS/E occupies a specific and underrepresented corner of 1970s rally history: a large-engined, fuel-injected GT coupé competing in Group 1 and Group 2 against smaller, purpose-built machinery. This Trofeu die-cast 1:43 scale model documents one of its most significant Portuguese results, the overall victory at the 1977 Rally Vila do Conde by Joaquim Moutinho in the black No. 42 car — an event and livery combination rarely found in mainstream model catalogues.

The Opel Commodore B GS/E: Grand Sport with Fuel Injection

Introduced in 1972, the Opel Commodore B GS/E was the flagship variant of the Commodore range, distinguished by its straight-six CIH engine equipped with Bosch fuel injection. The GS/E designation stood for Grand Sport/Einspritzung, separating it from the carburetted GS. Its fastback coupé body gave it both aerodynamic efficiency and a purposeful stance. The car was homologated for Group 1 and Group 2 rally competition, making it eligible for national and international events throughout the 1970s.

Joaquim Moutinho and the 1977 Rally Vila do Conde

Joaquim Moutinho was a prominent figure in Portuguese national rally competition during the 1970s, regularly campaigning the Opel Commodore GS/E in domestic events. At the 1977 Rally Vila do Conde, held in the northern Portugal region of Vila do Conde, Moutinho drove the black No. 42 Commodore GS/E to an overall victory. The Commodore's six-cylinder power and the Group 1/2 regulations gave it a tangible advantage over smaller-engined rivals on the mixed surfaces typical of Portuguese national rallies.

The 1:43 Scale Model by Trofeu

This 1:43 scale model is produced in die-cast metal by Trofeu, a Portuguese manufacturer with a long-standing focus on documenting Iberian rally heritage. The model replicates the Commodore GS/E No. 42 in its 1977 Rally Vila do Conde specification, including the black race livery as run by Moutinho. The black livery of No. 42 is a notable departure from the more common white or silver rally Commodores of the period.
