Nielsen adds some glow to a classic Capri on The Late Brake Show
The Ford Capri, originally launched in 1969 (the same year as Nielsen) makes this a particularly interesting car to showcase the Nielsen Retail range on. In a recent episode of The Late Brake Show, Jonny Smith heads to Edinburgh to meet a Ford Capri fanatic with an incredible barn find: a 1-owner survivor Capri 2.8 Injection Special that hasn’t seen the road since the early 1990s. With only 15,000 miles on the clock, this iconic coupe – often dubbed the ‘European Mustang’ – remains a true British classic, untouched for decades.
As Ford’s controversial new Capri model bears little resemblance to its legendary predecessor, this original is a rare treat for purists. Will it run after 30 years? Watch the video to find out!
Nielsen’s finishing touches
During the episode, Nielsen’s Snow Foam, Cherry Shampoo, and Wheel Cleaner are expertly used to bring the car back to its former glory.

pH Neutral Snow Foam
Our Snow Foam is designed to cling to your car’s surface, providing extended dwell time to soften and dissolve tough deposits. Its pH-neutral formula is safe for all surfaces, including wrapped vehicles, and both matte and gloss finishes, ensuring effective cleaning without damage.

Cherry Shampoo
The Cherry Shampoo’s powerful formula delivers a spotless, streak-free shine. Its highly concentrated blend creates rich foaming action for a deep clean that’s both gentle and effective.

Wheel Cleaner
Wheel Cleaner wipes out brake dust, grime, and oil, leaving an intense, brilliant shine. Don’t settle for less than perfection – this premium-grade solution is crafted to restore your wheels’ original lustre. Engineered with advanced corrosion inhibitors, it is powerful yet safe for regular use on both steel and alloy wheels.

We are immensely proud of these pioneering products, which ensure that every detail of the Capri shines, making the restoration process just as impressive as the car itself.
