About the Ford Sierra RS500 #44 J. Wiedler Nurburgring 24 Hours 1989 Solido 1:18

TL;DR: Solido's 1:18 diecast Ford Sierra RS500 #44, raced by J. Wiedler at the Nurburgring 24 Hours in 1989, comes with opening doors and bonnet. This is a used model; its box shows traces of storage, casting unaffected. A period Group A touring subject with real endurance racing pedigree.

The RS500 turned the Sierra into one of touring car racing's most dominant weapons, and Solido's diecast keeps that Nurburgring 24 Hours entry visible on a shelf rather than buried in results sheets.

Solido's Diecast Rendering of the Nurburgring RS500

This casting is zinc alloy, giving it a solid weight against the Sierra's boxy, wide-arched racing silhouette. The doors and bonnet open, revealing the stripped cabin and turbocharged Cosworth engine bay, and while an articulated body carries slightly wider gaps than a sealed one, the compromise fits a racing subject where interior detail rewards close inspection. The #44 livery is applied with sharp registration, and the RS500's distinctive rear wing and wide wheel arch extensions are rendered with genuine precision at 1:18. As a used model, expect handling wear consistent with age, and the box carries traces of storage worth noting, affecting the packaging rather than the casting itself.

The RS500's Dominance in Group A Racing

Ford built the Sierra RS500 to satisfy Group A homologation rules with an engine designed to respond well to further tuning, and the resulting car became one of the most successful touring cars of its era across multiple national championships and endurance events. Its appearance at the demanding Nurburgring 24 Hours in 1989 places this particular liveried entry within one of Europe's toughest endurance formats, a genuine test of both car and driver over a full day and night. For collectors of Group A touring cars, the RS500 remains a benchmark subject.

Displaying This Sierra Within a Touring Car Collection

This model sits naturally alongside other late-1980s Group A entries, where rival manufacturer liveries from the same era create a genuine sense of period competition on the shelf. Because the doors and bonnet open, the stripped-out interior and turbocharged engine bay can be shown, both genuine points of interest for this car. Given its used condition, inspect livery and panel fit on arrival, and treat the storage-marked box as a packaging note rather than a comment on the casting's quality.
