1982 Ford Capri | Byfleet, Surrey

A 1982 Ford Capri, from the final generation of Ford's rear-wheel-drive fastback coupé. The Mk3 is known for its slatted black grille, quad headlamps tucked under the bonnet line and long, low profile. The same body style appeared on the 3.0 S cars that Bodie and Doyle drove in The Professionals. This car is red with a black interior, a strong pairing against brick, concrete or an open road. It has a 1.6-litre petrol engine and room for four, with a hatchback tailgate behind the rear seats. The long bonnet and sloping roofline give a photographer plenty of line to work with, and the quad-headlamp face reads clearly in advertising and music video frames. It sits naturally in 1980s film and TV scenes and period-styled events. For a wedding or a birthday, it adds a red coupé with a distinct period look. It is based in London, Surrey.
