Willhire ford capri 2.8 "Bt " car/ roger Williams
I don't know if anyone has replied to this post but the Willhire Telecom Capri did appear at a few promo events in the early 80's and had the reg number DGF 400X. Using this and DVLA's Vehicle licensing online service, I see that its very much alive being either taxed or SORN'ed till November 2012.
Has anyone got any photos of this? I have a few which I scanned in recently so I might post them on Flickr. Also, I can't believe OK YAH recently sold - publicly - and for a seemingly modest price! I would have paid 10 times that price. Anyone agree? |

I remember the car being severely damaged by Barrie Williams after rolling it - I think 1984 event but could've been earlier?

Err,hope Whizzo doesn't read that! LoL. It was Roger who hung it off a little too far,dug in and barrel rolled in practice. The car was actually owned by a very good friend of mine,Chris Conoley. Funnily enough,I have just bought a magazine with an article by Roger and the Telecom years. PM me for any info I might be able to give.Glad the car is still about btw.

Hi Terry - I thought it was Squeaker who was driving at the time, he was definitely one of the drivers wasn't he? It wouldn't have been the first time he rolled someone elses car at Snett either, lol!!

I have seen it for sale on various sites for what must be 5 or more years, with a TVR 4.5 V8 fitted. Just had a quick look and found it's still for sale if ad is current......
