The Ford Capri MkIII in Gerry Marshall's livery is one of those references that British slot enthusiasts recognise straight away. Superslot presents it at 1/32 scale with the white BSCC 1980 livery, race number 14, and all the visual impact of a coupé that was a genuine contender on the circuits of the era. It is not a car that goes unnoticed on the track or on the shelf.
Gerry Marshall and the Capri MkIII: a livery with circuit history
The decoration reproduces the BSCC 1980 livery with race number 14 associated with Gerry Marshall, one of the most recognised drivers in British touring car racing of the seventies and eighties. The white Capri MkIII with that number reads immediately for any fan of period touring car culture: this is a car that breathes competition without needing any introduction. In a display dedicated to classic British slot, this Ford takes its place with authority.
Confirmed technical specification
The model comes equipped with Magnatraction an adjustable magnet to tune the downforce effect to the circuit working front and rear lights, and an Easy Change Pick-ups quick-change guide for replacing the braids without fuss. The Digital Plug Ready (DPR) system allows conversion to digital with an additional chip compatible with ARC PRO/Digital, without any chassis modification. In analogue mode it is compatible with ARC AIR and ARC ONE. The body is plastic with high-quality paint and period detailing. Dimensions without packaging: 14 cm long, 6 cm wide and 5 cm tall.
Box contents and presentation
The box includes the car, two quick-change braids and a rigid display case with a clear acrylic lid and themed base. It is a detail appreciated both by the enthusiast who will race it and the one who will keep it on display: the Capri MkIII in Gerry Marshall's colours has enough personality to justify a careful presentation.
