About the Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth Texaco #7 K. Ludwig / K. Niedzwiedz / T. Boutsen 24 Hours of Spa 1987 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Ford Sierra RS500 in Texaco livery recreates car #7 from the 1987 24 Hours of Spa, driven by Ludwig, Niedzwiedz and Boutsen. The zinc alloy body is a sealed one-piece casting. Pairs naturally with the Nurburgring-winning sister car from the same season.

Ford ran multiple Sierra RS500s across Europe's toughest touring car endurance events in 1987, and the Spa entry driven by Ludwig, Niedzwiedz and Boutsen represents that same works effort spread across a full season.

Zinc Alloy Casting of a Homologation Special

This model is built as a sealed, one-piece zinc alloy shell, and the metal handles the RS500's flared arches and boxy proportions with genuine solidity in the hand. Because there are no opening panels, every detail collectors judge sits on the outside: the depth of the scribed body lines, the crispness of the arch extensions, the rake of the rear wing. IXO keeps the Texaco graphics consistent with the sister Nurburgring car, sharp colour separation between the white body and red-and-green sponsor decals, with the #7 and driver names printed cleanly rather than blurred at the edges. The wheel and tyre combination reads correctly for a Group A homologation special of this period, wider than a standard road Sierra and pushed close to the arch lip. Handled carefully, a one-piece diecast body like this one ages well; the metal holds its shape over years of display far better than a lighter material would under the same conditions.

Building a 1987 Touring Car Season

Displayed alongside its Nurburgring-winning sibling and the other Spa entry, this Sierra completes a meaningful slice of Ford's 1987 endurance racing effort, letting a collector present the full works campaign rather than a single result. At 1:18 the RS500's short, boxy silhouette stands out clearly against longer saloon rivals from the same grid, so grouping several liveries together reads as a coherent grid rather than a jumble of unrelated cars. Diecast models at this tier remain accessible enough that assembling a full multi-car entry from one race is realistic without a heavy outlay, which is part of why this era of Group A racing has such a strong following among British collectors.
