Hi Andrew, i know one down here in south Spain, factory fitted AC in a late 2.8 and I have to say it cools great!!!Andrew 2.8i wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 6:51 pm Wow, who knew?
Has anybody actually seen a Capri with factory fitted A/C though?
As an aside, my Hayne's Manual makes no mention of air conditioning equipment.
