I saw the comment you left on ~cipriany's car render, and it didn't look like anybody answered your question, so I thought I'd help. What he used is a HDRI (High Dynamic Range Image). It's something that can be used as a background for rendering of CG models like your Ford Capri. This background surrounds the model and is often used for the lighting source of the model. Go to this site:
[link] and they offer free HDRI's for your use. In fact you can see the one that ~Cipriany used, called The Old Industrial Hall. I haven't set one of these HDRI's up before, but I plan to in the near future.
On that site, I think there are directions, or tutorials on how to set up a HDRI in your file. ~Cipriany should have mentioned where he got it from, as a thank you to the website, and because it's a credit to them.
Anyway, I hope this helps. Good luck.
