About the Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth Texaco #7 K. Ludwig / K. Niedzwiedz / T. Boutsen 24 Hours of Spa 1987 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Sierra RS500 Cosworth reproduces the #7 Texaco car from the 1987 24 Hours of Spa, driven by Ludwig, Niedzwiedz and Boutsen. The sealed zinc alloy body carries no moving panels, keeping the Group A livery uninterrupted across the shell. A companion piece to sibling Spa and Nurburgring liveries.

Texaco fielded a multi-car Sierra RS500 effort through the 1987 endurance season, and this #7 Spa entry documents one of the squad's parallel entries alongside its Nurburgring-winning sister car.

Construction of the #7 Spa Sierra

The zinc alloy diecast body carries genuine metal weight, a density that lets the model sit solidly on a shelf without the lighter feel a resin casting would give. As a sealed, one-piece shell, the Sierra's flared arches and boxy touring-car proportions hold consistent cast lines with no gap where a working door would otherwise interrupt the panel. That construction suits the dense Texaco decal package, letting the sponsor graphics wrap around the body without a seam breaking the design. The model's finish reproduces the era's flat, high-contrast livery style rather than a metallic factory color, which is period-correct for Group A sponsor liveries of this kind.

Part of a Multi-Car Texaco Effort

Fielding several Sierras across a single endurance weekend was standard practice for factory-backed Group A teams chasing points and coverage, and this #7 car shared the Spa entry list with sister chassis running similar Cosworth-tuned mechanicals. The Sierra RS500's turbocharged four-cylinder made it the benchmark touring car of the period, and Spa's mix of high-speed sweeps rewarded exactly that kind of power.

Assembling a Multi-Car Sierra Grid

Displayed alongside the #67 Nurburgring winner and the #6 Spa entry, this piece completes a three-car Texaco Sierra grouping that documents a single team's 1987 campaign across two of Europe's toughest endurance rounds.
