1971 Spa 24h hours winner, this Ford Capri was faithful to the saying “Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday”. Ford’s strategy for the new Capri was simple: Build a car to win. Aligning its sportiest road cars to the different race regulations, Ford will transform the Capri into a podium machine

Built in 1971 by Ford Motorsport Köln GMBH according to the Group 2 regulations, this 2600RS is the perfect example. Winning 8 out of the 10 races it entered (9 podiums in total), including the 1971 edition of the Spa 24h, the car will become an icon of its time.
