Carrera Digital 132 Ford Capri RS 3100 "Wood"
Item No. 31046
The latest FORD Capri RS3100 from CARRERA, item no. 31046, features the classic flower power design of the 1970s. The most famous vehicle with this type of paint scheme is arguably the legendary Porsche 917. However, other manufacturers have also adapted this design for their racing cars. The Capri, for example, is available not only in the dark green and light green paint scheme like this model, but also in blue and red.
Ford has a completely different status in the United Kingdom than it does here in Germany. What VW is in Germany, Ford is in the UK. From the Anglo-Saxons, Ford-loving classic car owners can get every spare part, every tuning part and accessory, and if they want, even complete bodyshells, to rebuild their racing classic. One example is the company "Ric Wood Motorsport," which will build a completely new RS3100 for racing on request (if you have the necessary cash. A lot of cash...). On this page you can find some impressions of the vehicle.
The present model can be found on their website, as can the previously mentioned red and blue Ford. The CARRERA model is therefore based on a real vehicle.
Just this spring, I was able to experience just how popular the first-generation Capri is here: At the parts market of my own classic car club (100 members), there were two brand-new Capri 1s: one with a standard body and a 3-liter Essex V6, another with a widebody and a 2.9-liter Cosworth V6 from the Ford Scorpio. The two owners were both around 25 years old. Their dad drove a 55-year-old Transit... ????
CAPRI rules!
Kind regards
