About the Ford Capri Mk2 3.0S #8 Soto / Honegger Serger Power Bastos 24 Hours of Spa 1980 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Ford Capri Mk2 3.0S reproduces car #8 from the 1980 24 Hours of Spa, driven by Soto and Honegger for the Serger Power Bastos team. Tampo-printed sponsor graphics and diecast opening features bring this Group Racing Historic touring car to a Ford shelf at accessible pricing.

Spa's 24-hour touring car race drew grids packed with Capris throughout the late 1970s and into the 1980s, and this Mk2 3.0S carried the Bastos-backed colours of Soto and Honegger in the 1980 running.

Tampo-Printed Livery on a Diecast Touring Capri

Race liveries live or die on how sharply the sponsor graphics reproduce, and this is where Minichamps' motorsport specialism shows. The Bastos branding, race number 8, and Serger Power lettering are tampo-printed directly onto the body rather than represented by simplified decals, giving crisp edges that hold up under close inspection. The diecast body carries real weight, and doors open on functioning hinges to reveal a stripped-out cabin trim more appropriate to a touring car than a road-going Capri. Wheels are finished in period-correct style, and panel lines around the Capri's long bonnet stay tidy despite the demands of accurate touring car proportions. Minichamps has built a reputation among collectors for faithful reproduction of period racing liveries across touring cars, rallying, and GT racing, and this Spa-liveried Capri sits comfortably within that strength.

The Capri's Place in Group Racing Touring Car History

Ford's Capri became a mainstay of European touring car racing through the 1970s and into the following decade, its long bonnet and rear-wheel-drive layout suiting the big-banger touring class that dominated circuits like Spa-Francorchamps. The 24 Hours of Spa became one of the classic endurance dates on that calendar, drawing factory and privateer Capris alike, and this Bastos-liveried 3.0S represents exactly the kind of privateer effort that filled out those grids. That racing pedigree gives a Capri replica genuine standing among British and European touring car collectors, well beyond the road car's reputation as an everyday performance coupe.

Building a Group Racing Historic Shelf

Paired with other Minichamps Capri liveries from the same era, this Spa entry helps build a themed run of 1970s and 1980s touring car racing, each livery telling a different story from the same grid.
