Nice example. Never realised my 2.0 S was considered a "desirable" model before lol.

It's always nice to read about the Capri, thanks for uploading the link.
I've noticed an error though. The journalist has used the figures on howmanyleft.co.uk for the mark 1 1300 L. In fact there are only 6 licensed and 12 Capri II 1300 L cars, making 18 in total.

Nice find and yes makes a change to here about the normal run of the mill Capri that have a good memory’s my mates Mum had a green ( same as Danny’s Capri ) 1.6L and when I first saw that I thought of my mates Mum ( don’t sound right but you know what I mean ) as she always had a stuck on hair thing on the choke knob . And the brown seats that was like real 70s seats . It was a Capri and we all said how great it was and how fast did it go .

Good article and nice car. Good preservation. I went to the Old Ford Rally yesterday at Gaydon and there were a few rare models of the lesser specs. Always good to see.
