About the Ford Capri RS 2600 Mk1 #22 Ford Koln D. Glemser / A. Soler-Roig 24 Hours of Spa Winner ETCC 1971 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the #22 Ford Köln Capri RS2600 driven by Dieter Glemser and Alex Soler-Roig to victory in the 1971 Spa 24 Hours, part of the Capri's ETCC-winning campaign that season, built with the detailed livery accuracy the works Ford effort deserves.

The Ford Capri RS2600 turned Ford's affordable, everyday coupe into a genuine touring car weapon, and this Spa 24 Hours winner shows exactly how far the factory Köln team pushed that transformation.

Minichamps' Detail on the Works Ford Köln Livery

Minichamps built its name on exactly this kind of subject: factory motorsport liveries reproduced with the sponsor graphics, number panels and period colour matching that separate a serious collector piece from a generic toy. The Ford Köln team ran distinctive white and red-orange bodywork on its Capris, and getting the balance between those colours and the various decals right across a curved 1:18 body is a genuine test of registration accuracy, one this casting meets cleanly. Doors and bonnet typically open on Minichamps' 1:18 motorsport range, revealing a simplified but honestly detailed engine bay and roll cage rather than a blanked-off shell. Combined with the flared arches and wide wheels the RS2600's Group 2 homologation demanded, the model reads as a proper period touring car rather than a generic Capri with stickers applied.

Glemser, Soler-Roig and the Capri's 1971 ETCC Campaign

Dieter Glemser was one of Ford's key factory drivers through the early 1970s, and his partnership with Spanish driver Alex Soler-Roig at Spa in 1971 delivered one of the Capri RS2600's defining results, a win in one of the European Touring Car Championship's toughest endurance rounds. That victory sat within a wider era of Capri dominance in the ETCC, as Ford's Köln-built coupe repeatedly beat larger-engined rivals through a combination of light weight and factory development. Spa's demanding Ardennes circuit, with its long straights and heavy braking zones, rewarded exactly the kind of durability and pace the works Capri had been built around. A collector building a 1970s European touring car theme will find this Capri a strong anchor piece, pairing naturally with other Group 2 Fords, BMWs and Alfas from the same championship years.
