To all the experts on here saying that's a 2.0 Capri and not a 3.0 you can clearly see the right hand tail pipe right at the start of the clip, four cylinder Capri's had the exhaust tailpipe on the left hand side (except the Mk1), tailpipe on the right gives it away as a 3.0. You can also clearly see the two pipes at 2:04.

An awful lot of the stunt driving in these film clips was done by a fella I had the priviledge to know in the early 1970's, Val Musetti. At the time Val was one of Britain's leading film and TV stuntmen, particularly specialising in car stunts. He was also the person who coached Michael Crawford through the stunts he performed in 'Some Mothers do have 'em' as Frank Spencer.
