About the Ford Capri Mk2 3.0 #27 G. Spice / T. Pilette Belga Team Castrol Winners 24 Hours of Spa 1978 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Ford Capri Mk2 3.0 reproduces #27, the winning car from the 1978 24 Hours of Spa, driven by Gordon Spice and Teddy Pilette for Belga Team Castrol. Tampo-printed livery and diecast opening features mark out this race-winning Capri for a touring car collection.

Gordon Spice built much of his touring car reputation around the Capri, and this Belga Team Castrol entry, shared with Teddy Pilette, took outright victory at the 1978 24 Hours of Spa.

Reproducing a Race-Winning Livery in Diecast

Belga's red and white branding is a demanding livery to reproduce accurately, and Minichamps tampo-prints the sponsor graphics and race number 27 directly onto the body rather than relying on simplified decals, keeping edges crisp under close inspection. The diecast body carries genuine weight, and doors open on functioning hinges to reveal a stripped, purpose-built cabin appropriate to a Group 1 touring car rather than a road-going Capri. Wide wheel arches and period-correct wheels reflect the aggressive stance the Capri needed to remain competitive against rival touring machinery of the era. Panel lines around that long bonnet stay tidy, no small feat given how much bodywork a Capri touring car carries. Minichamps has built genuine expertise reproducing period motorsport liveries across touring cars and rallying, and this winning Spa entry benefits directly from that specialism.

Spice, Pilette, and the Capri's Spa Dominance

Gordon Spice and Teddy Pilette formed one of the strongest touring car partnerships of the late 1970s, and their outright win at the 1978 24 Hours of Spa came during a period when Capris regularly filled the top positions at that demanding Belgian endurance race. Spice would go on to dominate the British Saloon Car Championship in later Capris, but this Spa-winning example captures an earlier chapter of that success, one built on European endurance racing rather than domestic sprint events. That victory gives the livery genuine standing among Capri and touring car collectors alike.

A Race-Winning Anchor for a Capri Collection

Set alongside other period Capri liveries, this winning #27 provides a natural centrepiece, its victory at Spa distinguishing it from entries that merely competed.
