According to Mick Jones, after Ken Browns back axle was repaired the dealer had a mishap when trying to deliver the Capri back to Ken and so the damaged car was sent to the works competition department at Boreham for further repairs, when Boreham tried to deliver the car they too had a mishap and eventually it was decided to rewards Ken’s loyalty to the brand with a spanking new car.

Classic film , back when editors let the action set the tone for the film , and just enough commentary not to spoil the action , unlike today's coverage , with over the top comentry or just to many ego's , the only real advance's are in camera quality and the use of both drone and incar cameras . I still think these near 50 years old films are more exciting to whatch than today's total live coverage , the magic is in the editing back then .

[@christianmadsen7997]

So true 👍

[@Fordman99.]

That would of been some story to tell someone “”I remember when I gave ari vatanen the diff out of me Capri” back when rallying was rallying when rally cars had components out of a normal road car and team managers helping to fix

[@sscottwilsonn]

Back when big international stars came to the uk to rally especially Scotland doesn’t happen anymore 😢

[@Cheeseburger.Launch.Sequence]

Something comforting about these little peices of history.......

[@philchisholm1]

spot on thebest time ever

[@jimmac9557]

Could not see team managers getting hands dirty nowadays..Mick Jones, Norman Masters, Charles Reynalds all heros...when rallying was tough, long events and hard men

[@chazsach6594]

Yes i remember them well, characters in their own right.

[@clockdva20]

Nope none of them venture outside of their warms air condition service area's these day's , those days of fixing cars between stages , are history now . In those years it was normal to find Works teams ,using local garages car parks or Pub car parks to services cars on. especially during big events like the marathon Lombard RAC rally . I remember the whole works Lancia team been on a Petrol station parking area between one stage were I lived in the Midlands , it was much more all hands on back then , still a very long way off the money and budgets of today's global sport and more Corporate image . A lot more human too.

[@garethfloydevans861]

guy with the capri is a legend

[@gavinivers8941]

You can't do that with the current cars! Maybe the rule back then were better?????

[@patbutete1722]

Imagine that scenario on a modern rally car!..Oh wait...Escorts still as popular as ever !

[@richardnixon4345]

My all time favourite The spectators diff was used for Ari How cool is that

[@davidwelch6796]

I believe that the spectators car took three days for the parts to arrive and be fitted. Ford naturally paid for the repair and three nights for the driver and passengers in a good hotel while they waited.

[@anthonypaterson7066]

That brought back many good memories. I was servicing further down the car park, so did not see the legendry moment with the axle change. I know it's a well worn cliche, but rallying in that era was great with servicing carried out in unbelievable places, today it very clinical and not much of it. the Scottish was well known for shredding tyres, like nothing on earth.

[@Stickleback]

your a legend man! aged around 60-75? all the best!

[@anthonypaterson7066]

@@Stickleback actually 77 yesterday. Thanks, they were good days.

[@jimmac9557]

We need folk like Tony Drummond and not the rich kids with no character

[@frenchenstein]

Thoroughly enjoyed that. Some furious driving!

[@bulterriersanromangomez2152]

Ver estos rallys de aquella época es como ver quién construyó el mundo . Es fantástico

[@nedmullins2440]

That's when rallying was really rallying. The work on Vatanens car , magic. They say the stuff today is good, not a hope. My age group are so lucky to have witnessed it all and at times be a part of it.

[@tealjacks9125]

imagine that now .. stopping a yaris on the rd to ask the driver if they could have the hybrid .. idont think so

[@oz2strokeman116]

Just go to the local Ford dealer and tell them we used the diff in Ari's car, they should give you a new diff assembly. The Team Manager explains to the spectator who was driving past when Ari's car was needing parts they didn't have to hand. Until the part drove past in a road Capri, and it was a straight swap for a works part!

[@ettoredomini3189]

[@richardspencer4901]
