Yes, I was alerted to that too, definitely one of those 'wow' moments! I think the character, Stu, stated that his back in the day was 'Cosworth blue'.
I think that colour was the 2.8 Laser :headscratch: :)
Don't be silly Andy - that marque didn't exist.

It was a colour option for the 3.0 Injection.
But I overheard someone say his dads mate had one, so must be right :headscratch:

Newsflash/Correction/Update - It's possible that Stu said 'Cosmos blue' (thank you Steve :))

There was another Capri model car in Coronation Street the other day, the Steve McDonald character had one, and, just like the previous ones (the Corgi screen stars Professionals set) this one had no plot relevance either.

Cool spot!
I wonder if somebody who works on the production side of the show could be a fan, maybe even an owner?

I've been thinking the same, what with this, the aforementioned Screen Stars Capri set, the poster in Tyrone's flat (think I posted a pic of that) and the cast regular they introduced who had one as his daily driver, seems just too much to be coincidental.
