About the Ford Capri RS 2600 #24 D. Glemser / J. Mass 9 Hours of Kyalami Class Winner 1971 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: The Minichamps Ford Capri RS 2600 #24 is a 1:18 diecast model of the car that won its class at the 1971 Kyalami 9 Hours with Glemser and Mass. The body is a sealed one-piece casting, so the long-hood profile and period livery carry the detail. A mid-tier historic touring-car piece.

The Capri RS 2600 was Ford Germany's answer to the touring-car grid at the start of the 1970s, and the number 24 entry took a class win at Kyalami in South Africa. Minichamps recreates it in 1:18 diecast, a long-hood coupe in period race trim for collectors who like their Fords with a documented result.

Capri RS 2600 #24 as a Sealed 1:18 Diecast

Long-Hood Coupe Proportions

The Capri's look comes from its long bonnet, short rear deck and sloping roofline, a coupe silhouette Ford sold as an affordable sports car. In race trim the arches are flared and the ride height drops. This casting is a single sealed shell, so nothing opens and the lines stay uninterrupted from bonnet to tail. Judge the model from the side: the nose length against the cabin, the roof slope and the way the wheels sit in the arches. At 1:18 it measures about 23 cm, and zinc alloy gives it a satisfying weight.

Class-Winner Livery Detail

Livery on a period race car is bold and simple: a large number on the doors, sponsor names and a clear colour scheme. That makes accuracy easy to judge. The number 24 panels should be square, the lettering crisp and the colour even on the hard metal shell. Check the glazing for flush fit and the badge detail at the grille and tail. At this mid-tier level, clean edges and consistent gloss are the points to look for, and the large panels of a Capri show them clearly under a lamp.

Kyalami 9 Hours and the Cologne Works Capri

A South African Endurance Race

Kyalami sits near Johannesburg, and its 9 Hours was a major international endurance race in the early 1970s. The product name records this entry as a class winner, which is the honest framing: a strong result in its category rather than an overall victory. That makes the model a specific historical record, tied to an event, a number and a pair of drivers, and it suits collectors who look for the less familiar races that still mattered at the time.

Cologne V6 and a Works Pairing

The RS 2600 was built around a fuel-injected 2.6-litre Cologne V6 and developed so Ford could compete in touring-car racing. Dieter Glemser was one of the era's leading touring-car drivers, and Jochen Mass later raced in Formula 1 and won Le Mans. Seeing both names on one entry gives the model extra context. It also pairs naturally with other Capri race cars and with BMW 2002 touring cars, since the two marques fought on the same grids.

Shelf Placement and Care

A Capri RS 2600 works best in a historic touring-car row, next to a BMW 2002 and an Alfa Romeo GTA from the same years. Keep it in a dust-free case, away from direct sun that could fade printed graphics, and lift it by the body sides. For anyone who wants to buy a class-winning Ford with a clear event and crew attached, the number 24 livery makes this a specific and characterful addition.
