Hi

My girlfriend is trying to follow up a lead she got today about his Capri RS3100. Apparently it was a Ford press car that was white at first then black with Gold stripes (some kind of sponsorship deal?) and was last recorded as Sebring Red, confirmed here:

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=101...

Apparently it used to have a Hack's cough sweets logo on it along the lines of "Hack's tackles your tickle'' if that helps. Trying to find out who gave the Capri to Savile.

As someone else asks in that thread, does anyone know what has happened to it? Is it still around and has it gone down the same route as the Range Rover conversion and what about any old photos of it back in the day - anyone got any at all?

Any info gratefully received!

Bit of searching and found a reg on RS owners club, checked this against DVLA and hasn't been taxed since 1988.

But if anyone has anything to add about it, please do!

Had to step away from this thread earlier as I smiled at the thought of Savile driving a car advertising sweeties and with "Hack's tickle your tackle".

Seemed to cover most points of the scandal.

Good luck tracking it down though, sounds like a nice beast.

Probably just some minor tinkering.
