Hi Jon,
 
Have you ever thought about conducting a vehicle search through freedom of information to see if the car still exists?
You might be able to bring it up for sale.
 
Peter.

Hi my chassis no is CK17ME32939p it is manual red pepper. Can anyone confirm this one for me. Thanks

Hi Keith, one of the cars with uprated components is numbered CK17ME32941P so it looks like yours has just missed out. Its great that its red pepper though, this colour is much rarer than the vermillion fire of 70-71.
Cheers,...ron.

Hi Jon, what a great photo of your wild plum (its not pink) capri. I see you had some sensible mods like sheepskin covers to stop vinyl burn haha. Then you had the practical wiper spoilers. When going above 60 mph in the rain the wipers used to lift off the screen so these were the go. Little did we know that we shouldnt be going above 60mph in the rain haha.
Also thats a good example of how the bonnet blackout was done on the 72 models. Flat black and the front angles instead of being paralel with the ford letters are slightly more angled. 
Any more pics you have will be enjoyed by all.  Cheers,...ron.

Is original meant to be flat or matt?

Sorry I thought flat and matt were two words for the same thing.

Hi Ron, if you loved the wipers & sheepskin you'll like the other photos I found. She was jacked up to the max, still scrubbed out with those 235's on the back and you'll love the multi coloured Wollen rug on the rear parcel shelf. Also twin system split each side but car only had one notch on the left hand side for the pipe. Always thought it should have one each side but have seen a few since then like mine so I guess it was correct with twin system out lhs. hopefully these photos upload, doing it from my phone which normally means I need my daughters help to make work. Cheers Jon

I think this car could be in the QLD club. The Wild Plum car in our club has saddle trim with the aerial on the rear quarter.

Hi Peter, sorry didn't reply to your comment regarding current owner. Long storey but car went in a big circle with couple of different owners and ended up living not more than 10klm down the road from me. Current owner nice bloke but not selling anytime soon. Has been painted since the photos I posted still a nice car and would love it in my shed.

Thats so cool.
OK the one in the club that looks like yours, ill guide you there.
Go to capri projects and scroll down to a green capri 1600xl engine reno( make sure at the bottom of the page it says posts "from the beginning". Then click on the 1600xl post and see the link for capri chatter blogspot. Click on the link and then scroll down to capri club christmas outing 2014 and see the wild plum car. The aeriel  gives it away. 
Cheers,  ron.

I am surprised that you remember so well all the bits & pieces that appear on my rather rambling blog.
Cheers
