Ford Capri?

Yes - 1969+ Mk1 GT. Too small to see if later Mk1 updates. Maybe Aus assembly?

There was indeed an Australian assmbly- for the MkI at least. This took place in a now long closed facility in a town named Homebush IIRC.

Foreground car looks Triumph 2000 - possibly early 1964+ Mk1 from opening quarterlights though I don't have an end date. Definite NZ assembly, but unsure if Aus as well.

They did a bit of filming in Wales. Admittedly I don't know if thatched cottages like this exist in Wales, but I doubt there are any in Australia...

To clarify, I'm sure this location is in the UK.

Gag Halfrunt wrote thatched cottages .... Wales ..... Australia...

Must be New South Wales then. Cottaging not one of my hobbies, but Welsh thatched cottages tend to be more in SW - Pembrokeshire and nearby - and mainly whitewashed. This looks very Englandshire chalk or limestone - Cotswolds, Essex, E Anglia etc. But if a maroon Peugeot 404 crops up in this sequence .......

So it's probably a Dagenham Capri after all.

^ similar type but geographically several thousand miles apart. Probably reasonably easy to source red ones in both UK and Aus if film continuity meant one was needed in both locations

First seen driving off into distance, then later outside pub. Looks like a K plate
