About the Ford Capri RS3100 #1 A. Moffat ATCC 1975 Biante 1:18

TL;DR: Biante's 1:18 diecast Ford Capri RS3100 reproduces Allan Moffat's #1 entry from the 1975 Australian Touring Car Championship, with opening doors, bonnet and boot and the wide-arch Group C bodywork that defined mid-1970s Australian touring car racing, a Ford Köln design that travelled remarkably well.

Allan Moffat built his reputation on Ford muscle, and by the mid-1970s the Capri RS3100 had joined Falcons and Mustangs in the fight for Australian Touring Car Championship honours. Biante, a specialist in Australian motorsport diecast, renders this #1 entry with the attention local touring car history deserves.

Biante's Diecast Capri RS3100 for the Australian Grid

Opening Doors, Bonnet and Boot

The bonnet lifts to reveal the 3.1-litre V6 set back in the bay, mirroring how the homologated Cologne engine was mounted for weight balance in Group C competition. Doors swing open on working hinges to show a roll-caged cabin with period-correct racing seat and harness detailing, while the boot lid lifts to reveal the fuel cell fitted in place of ordinary storage. The panels close with tight, even gaps, which matters as much to a touring car model as it does to the real racer it depicts. Mirrors, door handles and the fuel cap are separately fitted components rather than flat mouldings, adding genuine three-dimensional detail at this scale. Even the windscreen surround and wiper arms hold crisp definition, details that separate a carefully tooled model from a rushed one.

Wide Arches and Moffat's #1 Livery

The flared wheel arches needed to clear wider racing rubber are cast with sharp, well-defined edges rather than the rounded softness cheaper tooling produces. Real weight sits in the hand, the mark of zinc alloy construction, and the paint carries genuine depth under direct light rather than a flat, single-tone finish. Moffat's #1 livery, including sponsor graphics correct to the period, is applied with clean registration across the car's flanks and bonnet. Wheels fill the arches convincingly, and the ride height sits correctly low for a homologated racer rather than the raised stance some diecast touring cars default to.

Group C Homologation and the Australian Touring Car Scene

The RS3100 Reaches Australia

Ford's Cologne-built RS3100, developed in Europe to homologate a larger 3.1-litre engine and reworked front bodywork for Group 2 racing, found a second life on Australian circuits competing under local Group C touring car regulations. The car's wide-arch bodywork and uprated V6 gave it genuine pace against the Falcons, Toranas and Mustangs that dominated the Australian Touring Car Championship through the mid-1970s. Group C rules of the era permitted extensive modification within broadly production-based bodywork, a formula that let homologation specials like the RS3100 compete on genuinely level terms with locally built opposition. For European manufacturers, success on Australian grids also served as useful proof that a homologation special built for one continent's rules could translate to another's.

Allan Moffat and the ATCC Battles of 1975

Allan Moffat's name is inseparable from this era of Australian touring car racing, built on fierce rivalries fought out at circuits like Bathurst, Sandown and Calder. A Capri entry under his banner represents one strand of a career defined largely by Ford products, from early Mustangs through to the Falcons that followed, each campaign adding to a reputation few Australian drivers of the period could match. This particular Capri outing captures a lesser-known chapter of that story, valuable precisely because it sits outside the more famous Falcon and Mustang liveries most collectors already own. Building a shelf around Moffat's various Ford drives, Mustang through Capri to Falcon, traces the evolution of Australian touring car engineering across a single remarkable career.

Collection Context

This Australian-liveried Capri pairs naturally with the European works entries from Zandvoort and Hockenheimring, letting a collector follow one homologation special's campaign across three continents within a single season. At 1:18, the Capri's compact three-door shape and flared arches stand apart from the larger Falcons and Mustangs that shared Moffat's garage. Biante's focus on Australian motorsport subjects makes this a dependable source for touring car liveries harder to find from European-focused manufacturers, and a sensible starting point for anyone building a themed ATCC display rather than chasing one-off grails. Diecast construction keeps the price accessible while still delivering opening panels and a durable finish built to withstand regular handling on a display shelf.
