Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Ford Capri RS 2600 #24 recreates the D. Glemser and J. Mass car that won its class at the 1971 Kyalami 9 Hours. The body is a sealed one-piece casting, so the long bonnet, wide arches and race livery carry the model. A period Capri racer with plenty of appeal for UK collectors of Ford history.

About the Ford Capri RS 2600 #24 D. Glemser / J. Mass 9 Hours of Kyalami Class Winner 1971 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: The Minichamps Ford Capri RS 2600 #24 1:18 is a zinc alloy diecast replica of the car that D. Glemser and J. Mass drove to a class win at the 1971 Kyalami 9 Hours. The body is a sealed one-piece casting, so livery and stance carry the model.

The Capri was a familiar sight on British roads, but the RS 2600 was the version built to go racing. This 1:18 Minichamps model records a class win in a South African endurance race, and gives a well-loved Ford shape a competition edge that suits a historic touring car display.

Minichamps Ford Capri RS 2600 #24 1:18 in Sealed Diecast

Long Bonnet, Short Tail, One Casting

Nothing on this model opens. Bonnet, doors and boot lid are part of a single sealed body, so the panel lines run fine and continuous and nothing disturbs the long-bonnet profile. That profile is the Capri's signature: a long nose, a short fastback tail and a low glasshouse, and the zinc alloy casting reproduces it with convincing weight in the hand. Hold the model by the roof and sills and look along the body from the front; the arch flares and the width across the rear should read as purposeful rather than cartoonish.

Race Livery and Period Detail

On a car from 1971 the identification is simple: the number 24 on doors and bonnet, along with the entrant's marks. Check that the edges of the printing are clean and that colours meet neatly across curved panels. The wheels should be period-correct with proper clearance to the arches, and the lights and grille should look slightly stripped, as befits a competition car. Glazing should sit flush, a small point that shows careful tooling.

Kyalami, Glemser and Mass in 1971

A Nine-Hour Race in South Africa

The Kyalami 9 Hours was an endurance race at the Kyalami circuit in South Africa, and the model title notes a class win in 1971. A class winner is a different thing from an outright winner, and that honesty is useful: it tells collectors exactly what the car achieved. The RS 2600 was powered by a 2.6-litre V6 from Ford's Cologne operation, and the type was developed with touring car racing in mind.

The Drivers on the Door

D. Glemser and J. Mass share the car's credit. Both were well known in European touring and sports car racing, and the pairing gives the livery a human story. As with any period race model, the value lies in the specifics, so keep the box and any paperwork together, because many UK collectors weigh completeness heavily when they buy, sell or swap at a model fair.

A Capri Racer Beside the Road Cars

British collectors have a strong attachment to the Capri, and a racing RS 2600 makes a satisfying contrast with a road version on the same shelf. At 1:18 the car is compact enough to sit comfortably in a standard cabinet, and diecast brings sturdy construction at a sensible price band. Keep it away from direct sunlight, dust it with a soft brush and avoid handling by the arches. Placed beside other 1970s touring cars, it tells a good story of the decade's racing.
