About the Ford Capri Mk2 3.0S #8 Soto / Honegger Serger Power Bastos 24 Hours of Spa 1980 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the #8 Ford Capri Mk2 3.0S raced by Soto and Honegger for Serger Power Bastos at the 1980 24 Hours of Spa. The livery-accurate build suits collectors of European Group 1 touring car racing from the Capri's competition heyday.

Spa's 24-hour touring car race was a proving ground for cars built to survive, not just to sprint, and the Capri Mk2 3.0S was built exactly for that kind of punishment.

Reproducing a Works-Backed Privateer Livery

Minichamps built its reputation on exactly this kind of subject: a specific race number, a specific sponsor, a specific year, reproduced with tampo-printed graphics rather than approximate decals. The Bastos sponsorship colors on this Capri needed to hold precise registration across the door panels and roofline, and the diecast keeps those lines crisp under direct light rather than letting them blur at the edges the way lower-tier reproductions often do. The Capri's long hood and fastback rear window give the livery plenty of surface to work with, and the model's stance sits low and wide, true to a touring car set up for high-speed Spa straights rather than showroom comfort. Doors and hood open on hinges typical of Minichamps' 1:18 race-model range, showing a roll cage and stripped interior behind the sponsor-liveried skin.

The Capri's Place in Endurance Touring History

Ford's Capri Mk2 3.0S was a mainstay of European Group 1 touring car grids through the late 1970s and into the 1980s, and Spa's round-the-clock format tested exactly the durability the car's simple, robust six-cylinder layout was built to deliver. This particular entry sits alongside Ford's broader Capri racing story rather than at its very top, which makes it a good subject for collectors filling out a Spa 24 Hours grid rather than chasing only outright winners. Displayed next to other liveried Capris from the same era, it shows how varied privateer and semi-works sponsorship could look on what was fundamentally the same touring car.
