About the Ford Capri RS3100 #1 A. Moffat ATCC 1975 Biante 1:18
TL;DR: Biante's 1:18 diecast reproduces the #1 Ford Capri RS3100 Allan Moffat campaigned in the 1975 Australian Touring Car Championship, with opening doors, period Ford livery, and the flared Group 2 bodywork shared with European works cars. A specialist pick for Australian motorsport collectors.
Allan Moffat built his reputation on Fords, and long before his Coca-Cola Falcon became the car most Australians picture, he campaigned a widened Capri RS3100 on the same domestic grids. Biante, a manufacturer built around Australian touring car history, reproduces that earlier chapter with evident local expertise.
Biante's Australian Touring Car Specialization
Cast Detail on the #1 ATCC Livery
Biante has built its catalog specifically around Australian touring car racing, and that focus shows in how precisely this Capri's #1 livery and period sponsor graphics are registered against the body color. Where a European-focused manufacturer might treat an ATCC livery as a secondary market, Biante treats it as the main event, and the decal placement and font accuracy reflect that priority. The flared Group 2 arches match the wide-body specification shared with the European works Capris, cast with genuine depth rather than a painted illusion, and the front splitter sits at the correct rake relative to the nose.
Opening Panels and the Works Cockpit
The doors open to show a stripped racing interior, rollcage and single seat in place of Capri's standard road-going cabin, and the hinge settles with the slightly firm resistance typical of diecast construction rather than floating loosely. Pulling this model from its box, the zinc-alloy weight confirms the build immediately; it is a model meant to survive handling on a well-trafficked shelf. The deep-dish racing wheels tucked under those flared arches carry the correct wide-track stance, a detail that separates a faithfully widened Group 2 body from a standard Capri shape with wheels swapped.
Allan Moffat and the Capri in Australian Touring Cars
A Local Hero Behind European Hardware
Allan Moffat remains one of Australian touring car racing's defining figures, with a career built largely around Ford products on home soil. Running a Capri RS3100, a car developed primarily for European Group 2 competition, put him behind genuinely international hardware at a time when ATCC grids mixed imported European machinery with locally built Falcons and Holdens. That cross-pollination is part of what makes 1970s Australian touring car racing an interesting collecting theme.
The RS3100 Among ATCC's Mixed Grids
The Australian Touring Car Championship through the mid-1970s ran a genuinely eclectic field, European coupes, American-flavored Falcons, and Japanese imports sharing grids in a way few other national series allowed. A Capri campaigned by a driver of Moffat's standing carried real competitive weight in that mix rather than appearing as a novelty entry. That breadth is exactly why ATCC-focused collections reward patience, since a single season can include machinery with no obvious family resemblance parked on the same grid sheet.
A Distinct Branch of Capri Collecting
This Moffat Capri sits apart from the European Minichamps RS3100 liveries in both manufacturer and market context, a reminder that one homologation special supported genuinely separate racing histories on opposite sides of the world. At 1:18, the widened bodywork claims the same slightly larger footprint as its European counterparts, worth noting for cabinet planning. Buyers already holding a Zandvoort or Hockenheimring Capri from Minichamps gain real contrast adding this Biante release alongside it, not duplication.
