Looks like a MK1.. maybe. Is it even a Capri? Bonnet bulge looks too long..

whiff of Granada or Cortina about it from here. Nice colour though whatever it is, sort of colour that would suit a lot of modern cars if everyone weren't so obsessed with dark shade metallics at the moment.

I think we can hear her Hamish:

"yes, he's on the bloody computer again. It's that strange English web site. Full of blokes he's never met talking about a car he never drives. I just don't understand him …"
