I saw a light yellow Mark 1 Perana today at around 3 PM, first spotted driving on the A41 driving towards Bicester. I assumed it was a replica until I got up close and heard it! The wheelspin in second gear as the driver accelerated away from a roundabout was another clue! Curiously, it was on an X plate, obviously it hadn't been issued an age-related plate when it was imported. Does it belong to anybody on the forum, or does anybody know of it?

Good spot Andrew.
Always nice to see a V8 Capri
Cavalier and Astra too, are you sure this isn't a 90's picture

Re: Capri Perana Spotted
It looks like it!
The Astra and Cavalier were exhibits at a show I went to yesterday. The Capri definitely wasn't at the show, it was just driving along the road.
Thanks. It looked and sounded amazing!

Funny afterwards I thought there’s more to this picture with the older cars in there perhaps I am missing the joke . :Andrew 2.8i wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2019 7:18 amIt looks like it!
