Although that certainly is an Essex registration number, it is important to realise that this does not automatically mean that it had any Ford factory connections. Many Fords were registered privately in Essex, or by Ford dealerships.
Ford's Motorsport centre at Boreham was concentrating on Escorts in the mid-1970s, and as far as I know, the only Mk 1 Capris prepared at Boreham were for the 1973 Tour of Britain, which were cars carrying XWC ... L numbers.
There was certainly no rally car preparation of any such cars.
As I also recall (correctly ?) Tony Lanfranchi did not have any Ford connections either, at this time.
Discouraging response ? Sorry, but that's the way it was ....
