About the Ford Capri Mk1 RS 2600 #65 G. Larrousse / J. Rives Ford Deutschland Tour de France Automobile 1972 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Ford Capri Mk1 RS 2600 #65 recreates the Ford Deutschland entry driven by Gerard Larrousse and co-driver at the 1972 Tour de France Automobile. Flared touring-car body, correct livery, visible roll cage. A period-accurate Capri for European touring car and Ford motorsport displays.

The Tour de France Automobile was as much an endurance test as a race, and Ford's works-backed Capris were built to survive it as much as win stages.

Minichamps' Touring-Car Build on the Capri Mk1

The RS 2600's flared arches and vented hood set it apart from a standard Mk1 Capri, and this casting carries those changes accurately, with the wider front and rear fenders housing period-correct wheels rather than road-car rims. Interior glimpses through the side glass show a roll cage and stripped-out cabin consistent with a genuine 1972 touring-car entry, a level of interior honesty that separates a proper race replica from a road car wearing a livery. Ford's blue-and-white Deutschland scheme is applied with sharp separation lines and correctly placed number 65 roundels. Diecast weight keeps the model steady on a stand, useful given the aggressive stance these flared touring cars carry.

The Capri RS2600 in Early-1970s Touring Car Racing

Ford's works Capris were genuine front-runners in European touring car competition in the early 1970s, and the RS 2600 was the homologation special built to make that possible on the road before it went racing. The Tour de France Automobile combined circuit stages, hillclimbs, and long road sections into a single grueling event, and entries like this one needed both outright speed and reliability to survive it. For a collector tracing Ford's competition history through the 1970s, or building a Group Racing Historic theme, this Capri fills a specific and well-documented slot rather than standing in as a generic period racer.
