The Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth is one of the most celebrated touring cars in British motorsport history. Derived from the road-going Sierra Cosworth, the RS500 variant was developed specifically for homologation racing — featuring a revised turbocharged 2.0-litre Cosworth YBD engine, enlarged intercooler, and additional aerodynamic enhancements that gave factory-backed teams near-unassailable pace in the right conditions. During the late 1980s it rewrote the BTCC rulebook, and its period of dominance remains one of the most discussed chapters in the championship’s history.
Steve Soper was one of the finest touring car racers of his era — methodical, composed, and devastatingly quick when it mattered. His 1988 campaign with the Sierra RS500 at Brands Hatch represents the car at its competitive peak, battling wheel-to-wheel in front of the enormous crowds that the BTCC attracted during its golden age. It’s a specific moment in British motorsport worth commemorating properly.
This Stirling Scale model does exactly that. Hand-built and hand-painted in 1:18 scale resin, limited to just 999 examples worldwide and individually numbered, it’s made for the serious collector rather than the casual buyer. Stirling Scale’s focus is on accuracy and finish quality — expect a faithful replica of that exact car from that exact event.

Stirling Scale - 1:18 Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth - Steve Soper - BTCC Brands Hatch 1988 - Limited Edition Resin Model
Understanding Scale
The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.
