Back to this tactic huh.  ;)

I wish I could do otherwise but even the use of an Australian web proxy doesn't provide relevant results. And there are many pending points blocked due to these last two puzzles so the sooner it's solved the better !

Yes, it's by HO Phase! So, locked for you, what's the full name?

No, not Autodesign.

I don't know if it's a phase 8, but it is a Phase Capri HO according to my documentation and all those words exist in your answer so that one is duly and finally all yours!

Not Autoperformance.

Note: This is the single and only source I have ever found on the HO Phase Capri - in one of my magazines -, for some reason their own website has no mention of it...
What's equally interesting is that the car in these images has Mercury badging (only just noticed) but it's an Australian modification so it may have just been the rear lights to complete a 'look'?

The "Phase 8" bit was just a guess, as their website mention a "Phase 7" Falcon made in the late eighties/early nineties, so that was a logical progresion. Anyway, thanks for the point ! Finding the solution was a huge relief after days of fruitless research !

I noticed the Mercury badging too, that's why my first guess was that it was an American car.

This company is better known for modification of something of a different nature and from a different country. This thing they are more known for relates directly to a recent previous puzzle of mine.
