About the Ford Capri Mk1 RS 2600 #7 J. Stewart / F. Cevert Ford Köln 6 Hours of Paul Ricard 1972 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Ford Capri Mk1 RS 2600 reproduces car #7 from the 1972 6 Hours of Paul Ricard, driven by Formula 1 stars Jackie Stewart and François Cevert for the works Ford Köln team. Diecast opening features and tampo-printed livery capture a rare touring car outing from two Grand Prix legends.

Jackie Stewart and François Cevert stepped away from Formula 1 machinery to share this works Ford Köln Capri at the 1972 6 Hours of Paul Ricard, a touring car crossover that still draws collector attention today.

Diecast Detail on a Works Ford Köln Capri

The Ford Köln livery and race number 7 are tampo-printed directly onto the body, holding sharp, even edges rather than the slightly soft register a decal-based finish can show. The Mk1 Capri's long bonnet and fastback rear suit diecast proportions well, and Minichamps keeps the panel lines tidy around the RS 2600's flared arches, wider than a standard road Capri to accommodate racing rubber. Doors open on functioning hinges to reveal a stripped works cabin, and the bonnet lifts to expose the 2.6-litre V6 engine bay that gave the RS 2600 its name and its competitive pace. Diecast weight gives the model genuine heft, distinguishing it from a lighter toy-grade casting, and the wheels sit at a stance appropriate to serious touring car competition.

Two Grand Prix Legends in a Touring Car

Jackie Stewart was reigning world champion material through the early 1970s, and François Cevert was widely regarded as one of the sport's brightest emerging talents before his death at Watkins Glen the following year. Their appearance together in a works Capri at Paul Ricard reflects a period when top Formula 1 drivers regularly moonlighted in touring car and sportscar events, blurring lines between categories that later decades would keep far more separate. That crossover appeal gives this particular Capri livery a significance well beyond typical touring car collecting, tying it directly to two of the sport's most respected names.

A Crossover Capri for a Grand Prix-Adjacent Shelf

This RS 2600 sits naturally alongside other Capri touring car liveries or, just as well, beside period Formula 1 pieces connected to Stewart and Cevert, bridging two collecting interests in one model.
