Jackie Stewart and his wife feature in this 1970's advert for the "new" Capri 2 or Mk 2 to you and me,one selling point would appear to be the heated rear window and folding rear seats,how easily pleased were we?
Capris are cool. My mother had a 3 ltr Ghia Diamond White with Black Roof - bought in 1974 and this was the coolest Mum's car at Prep School! Ah the 70's!
I had a Mk2 1.6GL, venetian red, black vinyl roof, tan interior for 21 years (totally concours) until I sold it last year - I deeply regret it and watching this advert only reminds me what a bad decision that was. Sad git I am!
Because Jackie had to move to Switzerland to avoid paying something 90% income tax to the UK Government that the time as he was obviously earning a very high salary due to racing driving & endorsments in commercials such as this one.
Why oh why did I sell my Mk2 Capri last year??? Watching this advert doesn't help!!
