Mick Hill, Tony Rosen Super Saloon Capri
I may be on a wild goose chase but if anyone can help me, it will be here at 10 Tenths.
In late 1978, a F5000 Chevron B28 was advertised from addresses in Welwyn, Herts and Stanhope Street, London NW1 and I have been unable to trace it. However, the adverts give a clue. Another advert from this same telephone number in 1979 offered a reward for the return of an ex-Mick Hill, Tony Rosen Super Saloon Capri. Does anyone recall this car and know who might have had it in 1978 or 1979? If I can locate the Capri owner, I'll knmow who had the Chevron. Many thanks Allen |

Allen, was George Welly Potter's big Capri an ex-Hill/Rosen one ? He lived in Derbyshire however, nowhere near these Beautiful South places. I can;t recall many other Capris around by the late 70s.

The first Mick Hill Capri (Mk1) was sold, via Gerry Marshall, to Tony Strawson.
The 2nd Hill Capri (a Mk2) was later owned by Doug Niven - who also ran Hill's VW Beetle. Now who had the Capri's after them? |

Doug Niven's 1975 Capri ( which went briefly to Nicholas Wattiez in early '76 ) before being retrieved by Doug, was the 1974 Toleman Colin Hawker car. Not sure if it was a Mick Hill car before this.

I have a vague memory that Hill brought the Hawker Capri, Hawker keeping the Cosworth for the DFVW, but can't be sure. |

Colin Hawkers Ford Capri
In Feb 1983 Auto Performance Mag done a feature on the ex Colin Hawkers Capri at Lyden at that time the owner was Gary Charlwood it ran with a V12 Gary brought the Carpi from Northhamton at that time it was running a Weslake V6,I called Gary two years ago to see if he still had the capri he said he sold it to a guy in London who was going to make it into a road car?

Terry's car was an ex Brut 33 sponsored (I think) Group 1 car. Last I heard of it, it was in France and being restored to pre-Wendy Wool spec. What a shame.
Saw Terry at the CTCRC sprint at Goodwood and he is racing an XJS now and threatening to be out with it at Thruxton next month. |

Saw Terry earlier this year at Thruxton; he said he sold the engines on at a fraction of their cost, but I can't remember to whom. He thinks this was circa 1984.
The shell has reappeared and is currently being rebuilt but I can't remember the details - I'll check with Terry later on. I used to have a memory - now I have blanks........ |

Just came across this thread. In the 80's there was a guy called Bernie Harris in North London with a Capri with, I think, a GA fitted. I can't remember it's origins.
Wasn't Stuart Graham associated with the Brut33 Capri? |
