Tickford Racing unveiled a truly iconic Castrol livery for the #55 Castrol Ford Mustang, driven by Thomas Randle, for the 2024 Sandown 500. The car, also piloted by co-driver Tyler Everingham, sported the legendary Castrol colours made famous by the Castrol TOM’s Supra in Japan’s Super GT Series.
The instantly recognisable paint scheme became a hallmark of Castrol’s racing colours during the 1990s, featured on cars that competed in World Rally, touring cars, and sportscars. It also gained global popularity through its inclusion in the early Gran Turismo PlayStation games.
As soon as this mouth-watering livery was announced in the lead up to Sandown, it was begging to be replicated as a limited edition scale model for collectors and race fans.
This 1:18 scale edition is scheduled to be produced in high quality die-cast with opening parts which includes the bonnet and both the driver and passenger doors.
A highly detailed racing cockpit can be seen through the molded clear glasshouse, or by opening the doors to examine the interior further. Under the bonnet includes a detailed 5.4-litre Coyote quad overhead cam V8 and engine bay surround. Underneath the model, the undercarriage details the unique Gen3 floorpan.
Comprised of roughly 204 individual metal and plastic parts, with anywhere between 100-200 steps in paint and decoration finishing, including tampo printing where possible, photo etched parts including the bonnet pints, brake rotors and more, this is a high quality, detailed collectors model.
It will come in an exclusive, one-off limited edition with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity presented in its own, Authentic Collectables branded protective cardboard folder.
Once this model is sold out, it won't be available again.
