About the Ford Capri RS 2600 #22 D. Glemser / A. Soler-Roig Spa-Francorchamps Winner 1971 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 resin Ford Capri RS 2600 reproduces the #22 entry that won the 1971 Spa-Francorchamps 24 Hours with Dieter Glemser and Alex Soler-Roig. Sealed resin construction holds the touring car's boxy proportions and period livery for an early-1970s touring car display.
The Capri RS 2600 turned Ford's affordable coupe into a genuine touring car weapon, and this livery marks one of its biggest results.
Ford's Touring Car Coupe in Resin
Ford built the RS 2600 to compete in the European Touring Car Championship, fitting a fuel-injected V6 into the Capri's compact coupe body and stripping weight wherever regulations allowed. Minichamps' resin casting suits that subject well: the RS 2600's flat panels and simple wheel arches hold sharp, even lines in sealed construction, without the visible seams a diecast body sometimes shows along a straight hood edge. There are no opening doors or hood here, a trade-off resin buyers accept in exchange for the crisper body lines and factory-accurate livery application resin allows on a small production run. The period Ford Motorsport graphics and start number are printed directly onto the shell rather than assembled from decals over moving panels, which keeps the artwork aligned exactly as photographed on the real car.
A Genuine Spa-Francorchamps Result
The Spa-Francorchamps 24 Hours was one of the toughest tests on the European touring car calendar, run on the old, fast Ardennes circuit that punished underpowered or fragile machinery. Glemser and Soler-Roig's win there in 1971 stands as one of the Capri's headline results from its factory-backed era, a result that helped establish the RS 2600 as a genuine competitor against larger-engined rivals. For a collector building a 1970s touring car theme, this model pairs naturally with other ETCC-era coupes of the period, and at 1:18 it measures close to 20cm, a compact footprint that suits a dense multi-car endurance-racing shelf.
