'Bent' 3.0L Ford Capri, 1979.

A high speed, high powered car race along the Trysull Road in Wolverhampton one Sunday afternoon in 1979, resulted in this Ford Capri losing control and colliding with a lamppost. The Capri's driver was badly injured, but he survived the crash; on the other hand his 'pride and joy' was 'totalled'...Why do boys have to do silly things like this?

 

I took this picture of the aftermath, as this smokey old long-wheelbase Land Rover drags away the smashed up Ford Capri from the scene.
