Not surprising and I should have known as my first decent car was a Mk1 Ford Escort, it was the 'Mexico' version based upon the then successful Escort rally cars, running a 1600 crossflow with twin DCOE Webers...now you are taking me back.

> The Pantera steering column, indicator stalk and ignition switch is from a Ford Mk1 Capri (affectionatelty referred to as Dagenham Dustbins, reflecting the Dagenham plant where they were made and the notorious build quality) and made from 1969 to 1974. Some of which were imported into the US and pre-date the Mercury Capris, which were totally different cars.

Us Brits refer to 'turn signals' as 'indicators', so a search for 'Capri Ford Indicator' may get you further. I pulled up one for a MK2 or MK3 Capri, but Mk1 stuff is getting harder to find as the environment, agressive winter road salting and stringent MOT testing in the UK is hard on cars.
