About the Ford Capri RS2600 Ford Koln #1 D. Glemser / A. Soler-Roig 3rd Place 24 Hours of Spa 1972 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the works Ford Köln Capri RS2600, #1, that finished 3rd at the 1972 24 Hours of Spa with Glemser and Soler-Roig driving. The livery marks Ford's own factory touring car programme rather than a privateer entry.

A factory-backed livery carries different weight to a customer team's colours, and Ford Köln's works entries were the benchmark other Capri teams raced against through the early 1970s.

Ford Köln's Works Livery in 1:18 Diecast

The factory scheme runs cleaner than many privateer liveries of the period, with fewer sponsor decals and a strong reliance on Ford's own branding, which puts more emphasis on how precisely the base colour and number panels are applied. Minichamps' RS2600 tool carries the widened wheel arches and lowered stance the works cars used to fit wider racing rubber, a departure from the road car's more modest proportions. Doors and bonnet typically open on this range, exposing the stripped-down racing cabin and roll cage rather than a trimmed interior. As a diecast piece, it carries genuine weight in the hand, which suits a subject built to a full works racing specification.

A Works Capri Alongside Its Privateer Rivals

At roughly 20cm, this Capri fits standard 1:18 shelf spacing comfortably. It works particularly well shown beside the BP Racing Capri from the same 1972 Spa weekend, since the pairing shows a factory team and a customer entry from the identical race finishing in close order. This is a subject worth seeking out specifically for its works-team status rather than treating as an interchangeable racing Capri, and that factory pedigree gives it a stronger place in any dedicated Ford touring car collection than a generic livery would offer. Direct sunlight is worth avoiding to keep the factory colours from fading unevenly over time.
