About the Ford Capri Mk1 RS 2600 #65 G. Larrousse / J. Rives Ford Deutschland Tour de France Automobile 1972 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 Ford Capri Mk1 RS2600 #65 recreates Gérard Larrousse and Jean-Pierre Rives' Ford Deutschland entry from the 1972 Tour de France Automobile. Diecast construction reproduces the works-team livery of Ford's period touring car campaign, a solid subject for a 1970s Group racing display.

Ford's Cologne-built RS2600 Capri campaigned hard across Europe in the early 1970s, and this Tour de France entry shows the works effort at its most competitive.

Building the Ford Deutschland Livery in Diecast

Works touring car liveries from this period carried dense sponsor graphics across the doors, boot and roofline, and Minichamps reproduces that layered detail with tampo printing rather than simplified stickers, so the Ford Deutschland branding stays legible rather than blurring into a generic race-car finish. The Capri's fastback silhouette, low nose and flared wheel arches come through with tight panel fit typical of this manufacturer's historic racing range, and the diecast body carries a satisfying weight that plastic touring car kits cannot match. The bonnet and boot open to reveal period-correct roll cage detailing, a feature that rewards close inspection rather than just distant shelf presence.

The Capri's Place in Early-1970s Touring Car Racing

The Tour de France Automobile combined circuit racing, hillclimbs and road sections into a single grueling event, and the RS2600 Capri's blend of a strong V6 and light bodywork suited that variety well. Ford's works and semi-works Capris were regular front-runners across European touring car competition through the early 1970s, a period when the Capri built much of the sporting reputation that still underpins its collector appeal today. For a shelf built around Group racing history, this Larrousse and Rives car sits comfortably alongside other period Capris and rival marques from the same competitive era.
