Beach Bum

Enjoyed a day at the beach for bank holiday last Monday & spotted this in the car park. Shows you don’t need a VW Bus to go surfing

Love it that is a strange mk1 Capri as I guess it’s a USA Capri with them rear lights . I do like them mk1 capris I could quite easy own that blue one we saw at CCI .

Nice spot, Rob.
The car was only registered in the UK last year, so it has been imported. I like the custom rear light treatment, but I don't recognise what car they are from. Probably not an American car though as the light cluster has orange lenses for the indicators.
I doubt the Capri came from the USA because it doesn't have the required side marker lights and federal standard headlights and bumpers. Although there is a chance these may have been removed and replaced with euro standard items.

I did the same thing as the rear lights stand out as different also at first I was thinking it’s a MK2 .

I agree it probably is an Aussie import.. Quite like those deep dish rostyle wheels also. No idea what those lights are off, they look sort of Lincoln in design, answers on a post card please..
Good looking mk1 though & in great condition.

Nice spot Rob.

What about an import from S Africa?

Could very well be, may account for its excellent bodywork as it’s obviously enjoyed rather than pampered. Can’t see someone restoring it then heading out to the surf with it. Nice way to carry your board though.

Looks like a flat bonnet. Pre facelift ?
