About the Ford Capri Mk2 3.0 #27 G. Spice / T. Pilette Belga Team Castrol Winners 24 Hours of Spa 1978 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the #27 Ford Capri Mk2 3.0 that won the 1978 24 Hours of Spa with Gordon Spice and Teddy Pilette driving for Belga Team Castrol. This is a genuine race-winning livery, not a generic touring car finish, built for collectors chasing outright Spa victors.

Winning at Spa over twenty-four hours meant surviving the Ardennes weather as much as beating the field, and this Capri did both.

A Winning Livery Reproduced With Race-Correct Detail

Belga's tobacco-sponsor livery on European touring cars of this era demanded precise color separation across large flat panels, and Minichamps' tampo-printed graphics hold that registration tightly along the Capri's doors and roofline. Gordon Spice ran his own competitive Capri operation through the late 1970s, and this particular chassis carries the small details that mark a genuinely raced livery: scrutineering numbers, sponsor decal placement, and a stance set up for Spa's long straights and technical Eau Rouge sweep rather than static display. The doors and hood open on this diecast build, showing a stripped cabin and roll cage behind the sponsor-liveried bodywork, and panel gaps stay tight and even across the fastback rear.

Gordon Spice and the Capri's Winning Years

Spice built a reputation across the late 1970s as one of the Capri's most successful privateer racers, and pairing with Teddy Pilette for this Spa win places the model at a genuine high point rather than a mid-pack finish. For a collector building a Spa 24 Hours theme or a Capri-specific racing lineup, a confirmed winning livery like this one carries more weight than an unplaced entry, since it documents a result rather than just a participation. Set beside other 1970s Capris in a touring car display, this one earns the position closest to the front.
