OSCA MK1 Capri thunder saloon, i'm guessing MK1 judging by the shape of the leading edge of the bonnet, and it looks to have a small trunk lid, as opposed to the MK2/3 hatch tailgate. -- Last edit: 2007-09-01 17:52:33 |

1975 built car in 1982+ livery. Quote from ^ "However, the Capri did get to bask in the spotlight one more time, when it starred in the 1985 New Zealand movie Shaker Run, starring Cliff Robertson and Leif Garrett. The Capri was used for one of several car chase scenes in the movie, in which it was stolen from a central Wellington car dealer’s showroom (Kirk Motors Mitsubishi), to chase the pink and black replica Pontiac Trans Am driven by Robertson and Garrett throughout the movie. Still in Brian Friend’s racing colours, with his name above the windscreen, the Capri was smashed through the showroom window, then set off after the Trans Am. The two cars sped momentarily through some inner-city Wellington streets, before suddenly they were charging up the Rimutaka Hill (about 30 minutes from Wellington CBD). Here the bad guy in the Capri catches the Trans Am, rams it a few times, then loses control after Garrett throws bottles of oil into his path. Shaker Run doesn’t seem to be available on DVD, but the chase scene can easily be found by doing a quick YouTube search. The crisp small-block Chev in the Capri sounds great with its open pipes.
