Ford Capri for film & TV hire
Updated
You will find 23 listings under Ford Capri, dating from 1969 to 1987; their dates offer a useful first comparison when the vehicle needs to fit a specific period. You can explore 1980s, 1970s and 1960s through the decade links, putting these choices beside other vehicles from those periods when you are planning the scene’s background. When browsing by category, start with Classic, Coupé and Replica / Film car; the vehicles can then be considered alongside the people, props and location that make up the scene. If colour is central to the shot, start by comparing blue, black and blue/black, the shades most often listed among these vehicles, with your wardrobe and location references. This selection includes 3 listings with photographs from their owners.
The Ford Capri was Britain's own answer to the American pony car: a long bonnet, a short tail and a sporty image at an everyday price. Built from the end of the 1960s to the late 1980s, it belongs to the decades of flares, wide lapels and tough television detectives. Put a Capri in shot and the audience knows exactly where and when they are.
On screen the Capri suits 1970s and 1980s crime drama, young men showing off, comedy, and nostalgic commercials. Early cars have a slimmer, chrome-trimmed look; later versions are chunkier and more aggressive. Performance versions suit chase and getaway scenes, while ordinary models suit a character trying to look more successful than they are.
Practical notes: tell us the year of the story, because the Capri changed noticeably between generations. Many surviving cars are well restored, so if the scene needs a tired, lived-in car, say so in the brief. Driving shots should be planned with the owner, and anything demanding belongs with action vehicle hire. Browse more 1970s cars.
When you brief us, include the colour and the character. A bright early Capri with a vinyl roof suits a flash young salesman; a dark later car suits a detective or a villain. Wheels, trim and stripes vary a lot, and the right details make the car believable for its owner. If the scene needs a whole 1970s or 1980s street, a single brief can cover the Capri and the everyday cars around it. We will send a shortlist with photos and notes, usually within forty-eight hours, and availability is confirmed with each owner for your dates.
