About the Ford Capri RS 3100 #31 J. Mass Norisring DRM 1975 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Ford Capri RS 3100 reproduces Jochen Mass's #31 Norisring DRM 1975 entry, with opening doors, bonnet and boot exposing the racing cabin and V6 detail. This used model's box shows traces of storage, the casting itself intact. A genuine German touring car heritage piece for a Capri or DRM collection.

The RS 3100 pushed the Capri's flared bodywork and V6 output to their competition limit, part of Ford's response to the German Deutsche Rennmeisterschaft's increasingly serious touring car grids.

Minichamps' Diecast Construction of the RS 3100

This Capri is a zinc alloy diecast, and its weight suits the RS 3100's genuinely wide, flared-arch stance, a solidity that reflects how far this racing variant departed from a standard road-going Capri. Doors, bonnet and boot open, revealing the roll cage, racing seat and stripped interior behind those flared arches, along with the enlarged V6 detail beneath the bonnet that gave the RS 3100 its competitive edge. Panel gaps run at typical diecast tolerance, a fair trade for the interior access a serious touring racer like this deserves. The Norisring livery's sponsor graphics and #31 roundel are applied with sharp registration, essential given how specific this subject is to a single documented race weekend. As a used piece, the box shows the traces of storage stated on the listing; the casting itself presents the graphics cleanly.

A DRM Subject for a German Touring Car Shelf

The DRM produced some of the widest, most aggressively flared touring cars ever raced, and the RS 3100 sits comfortably among the period's most extreme interpretations of a road-car silhouette. Displayed beside other 1970s DRM subjects, particularly BMW's contemporary rivals from the same series, it makes for a genuinely instructive contrast in bodywork philosophy. The opening bodywork matters on a subject like this, since the stripped racing cabin and enlarged engine bay are exactly what separates the RS 3100 from a road-going Capri, detail a sealed casting would leave entirely hidden.
