About the Ford Capri RS2600 Ford Koln #1 D. Glemser / A. Soler-Roig 3rd Place 24 Hours of Spa 1972 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This 1:18 Minichamps diecast reproduces the #1 Ford Koln Capri RS2600 driven by Dieter Glemser and Alex Soler-Roig to a 3rd-place finish at the 1972 24 Hours of Spa, one of two Capri podium finishers that year alongside the BP-liveried sister car.

Ford's factory-backed Koln team ran works-level Capris through the early 1970s European touring car scene, and this #1 car's 1972 Spa podium places it among the marque's strongest results of that era.

Detail Work on the Ford Koln Livery

Works team liveries of this period tended toward cleaner, less densely branded schemes than later decades' sponsor-heavy cars, and Minichamps' printing reflects that restraint accurately rather than over-detailing a livery that was genuinely simple in period. The RS2600's fastback shape carries the same diecast solidity across street and race versions, but this casting adds the racing wheel and tire package and subtle arch flaring that distinguished the works cars from showroom Capris. Panel lines remain tight along the doors and rear haunches, and the number "1" roundel prints crisply enough to read clearly at typical shelf viewing distance.

Ford Koln's Role in Capri Racing History

Ford's German competition arm ran the Capri as a serious touring car contender through the early 1970s, and results like this 3rd-place Spa finish helped establish the RS2600 as a genuine threat to established rivals rather than a mere homologation exercise. Having two podium Capris from the same 1972 race, this works car and the BP-liveried sister entry, underlines how competitive the model had become by that point.

Pairing Podium Finishers

Displayed alongside the #3 BP Racing Capri from the same event, this #1 Ford Koln car completes a two-thirds view of the 1972 Spa 24 Hours podium. At 1:18 both castings share enough size consistency to sit naturally side by side on a themed touring car shelf.
