About the Ford Capri RS2600 Ford Tuning Siegen #6 Weiss / K. Ludwig 6 Hours Nurburgring 1973 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the Ford Tuning Siegen Capri RS2600, #6, driven by Weiss and Klaus Ludwig at the 1973 6 Hours Nürburgring. The privateer German entry sits alongside the works Ford Köln cars as part of the Capri's mid-1970s racing story.

Ludwig would go on to become one of Germany's most successful touring car drivers, and this Siegen-liveried Capri catches him early in that career, well before his Le Mans and DTM successes.

A Privateer Capri Livery in 1:18 Diecast

Ford Tuning Siegen's colours run in a straightforward scheme without the heavier sponsor branding of some works entries, which makes the base paint finish and number graphics the clearest signals of build quality on this casting. Minichamps' RS2600 tool carries the widened arches and lowered stance used across its Capri racing liveries, distinct from the narrower road car proportions. Doors and bonnet typically open, showing the stripped racing cabin and roll cage rather than a trimmed street interior. As a diecast piece, it holds genuine weight, and clean, sharp number panel edges are worth checking against the base colour.

A German Privateer Entry for a Touring Car Shelf

At roughly 20cm, this Capri fits standard 1:18 touring car spacing comfortably. It sits well alongside the Ford Köln and BP Racing Capris from the same racing years, rounding out a picture of how varied Capri liveries were across works and privateer teams in the early 1970s. For collectors following Klaus Ludwig's career specifically, this early Nürburgring entry has genuine appeal beyond the Capri theme alone, since it predates his better-known factory drives. Keeping the model out of strong sunlight preserves the paint finish for long-term display.
