About the Ford Capri Mk2 3.0S #10 W. Graham Fabergé Racing 2nd Place Oulton Park BSCC 1979 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: The Minichamps Ford Capri Mk2 3.0S 1:18 reproduces the #10 Fabergé Racing car driven by W. Graham to second place at Oulton Park during the 1979 British Saloon Car Championship. Diecast construction and printed period sponsor livery document a specific touring car result from the Capri's competition heyday.
The Capri's touring car career ran through Britain's domestic championship for most of the 1970s, and this Fabergé Racing entry captures the car during that period at one of its more competitive circuits.
Minichamps' Livery Detail on a BSCC-Era Capri
The Mk2 Capri's long hood and fastback profile were shaped as much for touring car aerodynamics as for road-going style, and this 3.0S variant carried the largest engine option available in period competition trim. Minichamps reproduces the Fabergé Racing sponsor graphics and the #10 racing number with clean, sharp printing across the Capri's curved flanks, and the diecast body gives the model genuine weight next to a resin equivalent at the same scale. Wheel arch extensions and a lowered ride height mark this out clearly as a touring-car specification rather than a road-going 3.0S, and the interior carries a simplified roll cage detail rather than a full period-correct safety installation. For a subject this specific, the livery accuracy is where the model earns its keep.
Oulton Park and the British Saloon Car Championship
The British Saloon Car Championship gave the Capri one of its most consistent competitive homes through the 1970s, running a mix of British circuits including Oulton Park's tight, undulating layout that rewarded chassis balance as much as raw power. A second-place finish there for W. Graham and Fabergé Racing represents a genuinely competitive result within a field that included multiple manufacturers running similarly specified touring cars, rather than a token participation entry. The BSCC of this era ran largely production-based machinery, which meant a Capri's on-track performance connected directly to the road car buyers could purchase from a Ford dealer, a link that gives this kind of period touring car livery real relevance to Capri owners and Ford enthusiasts alike.
Building a 1970s British Touring Car Shelf
This Capri sits naturally within a British Saloon Car Championship display, alongside period rivals that ran the same domestic series, or within a Ford-specific collection tracing the Capri's transition from road car to competition machine. Minichamps' mid-tier diecast pricing makes assembling several period liveries from a single BSCC season realistic without investment-tier cost. For collectors specifically interested in 1970s British touring car racing, a documented result like this second-place Oulton Park finish carries more value than a generic Capri road car model wearing a race livery for decoration alone.
