About the Ford Capri RS2600 BP Racing Team #3 G. Birrell / C. Bourgoignie 2nd Place 24 Hours of Spa 1972 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the BP Racing Ford Capri RS2600, #3, that finished 2nd at the 1972 24 Hours of Spa with Birrell and Bourgoignie driving. Zinc alloy construction and period BP livery suit collectors building a 1970s European touring car display.

Endurance touring car racing in the early 1970s ran Capris hard against BMW and other rivals, and a podium result at Spa gives this particular car a documented result rather than a generic racing paint job.

BP Racing Livery in 1:18 Diecast Form

BP's period racing colours run largely in white and yellow with sponsor branding across the bonnet and doors, and getting that layout to sit flush and sharp against the body panels is the main quality marker on a livery this graphic-heavy. Minichamps' casting follows the RS2600's flared arches and long bonnet, panels that had to be widened for competition use over the road car's narrower stock bodywork. Opening doors and bonnet typical of this 1:18 range reveal a roll cage and simplified racing cabin rather than the trimmed interior of the street car. Diecast construction gives the model the weight collectors expect at this scale, holding sharp definition on the arch flares under direct light.

Placing a Spa Podium Car on the Shelf

At around 20cm, this Capri sits well among other 1970s touring cars without needing special shelf accommodation. It pairs naturally with the Ford Köln Capri from the same 1972 Spa race, letting a collector display the top result cars from that endurance round together. This is a subject with genuine documented racing history behind it, which sets it apart from a plain street-liveried Capri and gives it stronger standing in a themed 1970s touring car collection. The BP colours also hold up well under typical cabinet lighting, provided the model stays out of prolonged direct sun.
