Rallycross Rome _ Ford Capris & Escorts 1968

This film shows the sport of Rallycross that was just starting to grow in popularity in1968. Not only does it feature some of rally’s big names of the time, including Hannu Mikkola and Roger Clarke, but there are also a number of incredibly rare Ford Capris 4x4s competing. These cars were only built for evaluation purposes, and used the Fergusson 4x4 system as fitted to the Jensen FF. In addition, there is a small amount of a Formula Ford race held as part of the same event, and a children’s pedal car race.
