About the Ford Capri Mk3 3.0 #11 D. Gartmann / K. Ludwig Gilden Kölsch Racing Winners 24 Hours of Nürburgring 1982 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Ford Capri Mk3 3.0 reproduces the #11 Gartmann and Klaus Ludwig entry that won the 1982 24 Hours of Nurburgring under Gilden Kolsch Racing colours. Diecast construction captures a confirmed race-winning livery, driven by one of German touring car racing's most decorated names.

A confirmed 24-hour endurance win carries genuine weight in touring car collecting, and this sister car to the #1 Capri earns exactly that distinction.

Diecast Detail on a Documented Winner

The Mk3 Capri's long bonnet and flared touring car arches give this diecast a strong, recognisable silhouette, and Minichamps applies the Gilden Kolsch Racing livery with sharp, well-registered graphics matching the sister #1 entry from the same team. The #11 numbering and winner-specific detailing are printed cleanly, and diecast weight gives the model appropriate heft for a car built to survive twenty-four hours of hard endurance racing rather than a single sprint. Panel lines around the arches and bonnet edges hold tight, a small but meaningful detail on a subject where flared bodywork is the whole visual story.

Klaus Ludwig and a Genuine Nurburgring Victory

Klaus Ludwig went on to become one of Germany's most successful touring car and endurance drivers, and this 1982 Nurburgring 24 Hours win with Gartmann sits early in that decorated career. A confirmed victory gives this Capri more standing than a routine grid entry, and pairing it with the sister #1 Schafer and Rosberg car creates a genuinely coherent two-car display from the same team and event. For collectors of German touring car history, a documented winner like this is worth prioritising over an unconfirmed livery study.
