Only seen in opening sequence as part of a launch film Also some pics on main page of how the film cars were created. Am assuming a basic Fiesta with cheap black plastic interior and apparently a 4-speed box was used. If wheels are accurate it was May 81+ refresh so fairly new for filming. Capri Mk1 headlights and Mk3 rear lights, plus various other disguisey tricks. |

The speedo is pre-facelift Mk1. Wheels could also be Escort Mk3 ones from 1980-on. Steering wheel is Ford RS 4-spoke with custom center emblem. |
