4. Is a second Gen. Ford Capri. I think this would have been modified in Australia. It's an Australian car, and those wheels are Australian made (Simmons). I can't find that particular car though. Is it from 1993?

Is it from 1993? Wow that's some outstanding sleuthing! Australian is correct, and my source does show from 1993.

4. OK, that's a good start. Is the company that modified the car still in business?

Either it is or one with the same name is currently operating.

EDIT: Actually, just found it, it is still operating and there is ANOTHER company under the same name operating too.

Yes and the website is still active, though no current models appear so I'm not sure how active...
