If i am right this is a Ford Capri MK 1.
I still like this type of car. Esspecially the MK3 with V6 engine.

Possibly RS3.1 or the more desirable 2.6?

Much more desirable than both of them.....the pint of coke is still on offer.
I am in love with this car.

Funnily enough Tom Walkinshaw started off racing MK1 Capris.
I had a MK1 3 litre when I was 18 (only fitted with a pinto tho) and always wanted a Uren.

I used to work for TW in the late '90s when they owned Arrows F1 Racing team. I was a trainee accountant in Leafield.

I actually work with a lot of ex TWR guys here in Australia. Lots of em came to Oz for a job they were doing at the time (holden commodore crewman), mostly CAD designer, engineers, chassis guys etc. Lots of em stayed here- nice weather, nice girls... A few went to holden racing team, most came to, and are still at holden in design/engineering.
