Re: Capri Assembly Line

Very good points. In addition to this, there are more people than ever in the country now, and constantly increasing, we all need somewhere to live don't we. New estates, housing complexes, apartment conversions, all seems to be full straight away, many sold even before they are built.

Thank you Jason. I always think it shows how fondly the Capri is remembered when it appears on something modern.

Re: Capri Assembly Line

That's a fascinating video, love stuff like that. Far more automated than I expected it to be. I agree, it's an interesting little snippet of what happened on the assembly line. I had a quick look for a video of the Mark 3 being made, sadly I couldn't find anything. Andrew. There will be some out t...

As with al lot of bygone situations, isn't it brilliant that people had the will to take pictures and film from the era they were in.

Re: Capri Assembly Line
