Oldest Surviving Capri II

Post by foxy2600 »

Well, as we get through the 50th Anniversary Year, our thoughts go to 2024 and the oldest surviving Capri II.

As my first ever Capri was a 1976 2.0 S in black and gold, I still hanker after one. They are the rarest so can anyone enlighten me? A pre-production Dec73 perhaps or a May 74 M Reg ?

My mk2 1.6L is an M reg. A bit of digging into its past during its restoration points to a build date of May 74.
I doubt mines particularly close to being the oldest survivor though! It’d be interesting to find out which is the oldest, and if any pre production or prototype cars are left.

Hi Dan, interest for me is your 5 figure VIN - I.e. the engine no. ......or the full Vin would be good
