About the Ford Capri Mk2 3.0S #33 V. Woodman / C. Buncombe V M Woodman 3rd Place 24 Hours of Spa 1981 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast Ford Capri Mk2 3.0S recreates car #33, entered by V M Woodman and driven to third place at the 1981 24 Hours of Spa by Woodman and Buncombe. A podium-finishing livery for a Ford touring car racing shelf.

A third-place finish at a 24-hour endurance race is a genuine result, not a footnote, and this Capri 3.0S livery gives that podium a permanent place in a display cabinet.

Racing Detail Built for a Podium Result

Minichamps prints the V M Woodman entry's number 33 and sponsor markings with the fine, sharp-edged tampo work that lets a livery read correctly at 1:18 rather than blurring into a generic race car. The diecast Capri body carries proper metal weight, and the boxier Mk2 silhouette, with its wraparound rear window and hatchback-style boot, is a shape Minichamps reproduces with tight, consistent panel lines around the bonnet and doors. At roughly 22 to 24 centimetres in length, the model gives the sponsor decals and driver names enough surface to remain legible, a detail collectors who know the actual result will appreciate rather than take for granted.

The Capri's Endurance Racing Record

By 1981 the Capri was no longer Ford's newest touring car shape, but it remained a genuinely competitive entry in longer-format European racing, and a third-place result at Spa's demanding 24-hour format is proof of that. Woodman and Buncombe's drive represents exactly the kind of well-prepared privateer effort that kept the Capri relevant against newer machinery. For a collector building a Ford touring car chronology, this podium-finishing #33 sits well alongside other Capri liveries from the period, adding a specific, verifiable result rather than a generic period livery.
