Interesting article from Paul Hardiman in Classic and sportscar but ends up wide of the mark with so many small mistakes about what he thought was fitted when. If he is trying to write a proper 50th anniversary article he should read Steve's book or get his work peer reviewed.

Re: Recent capri article but with some usual mistakes
When was the bag of cement fitted? Was it in the 3.1 injection?
I'm the one who leaves all those shoes in the carriageway.

Re: Recent capri article but with some usual mistakes
Thanks for posting the link.
As you say, there are small mistakes in the text, nonetheless, I enjoyed reading the article.
As most, if not all, books on the subject of the Capri are written by fans, it's interesting to get a different perspective from somebody who isn't into them as much.
The view of the man in the street, if you like.
Andrew.
