Cop Car (Ford Capri)

By Toby Messenger 2025

Dimensions
210cm x 90cm x 71cm

Half scale. Mixed media, reclaimed wood, cardboard, packaging, paint and Perspex.

It started out as a Ford Capri and, through the push and pull of materials, colour and construction, gradually morphed into a cop car. A shift from M25 Acid House subculture to institutional authority.
