I have the Capri owners handbook, complete with the yellow sticker from when I owned one of these.
There's no Ford logo on the sticker.
 
Full wording is:
 
SPECIAL VEHICLE
Your CAPRI is fitted
with an uprated
V6 165 B.H.P. motor
and associated components.
It is essential
you identify as such
when ordering
replacement parts
through your FORD dealer

Deano does the car still exist?
 

The yellow stickers were indeed Ford sanctioned. They were to help identify the cars so dealers could fit appropriate spare parts as necessary at service.
 
        Engine power is one thing but it was the gearing changes that made a huge difference to performance. Even with the rs3100 I would suggest that the ventilated front brakes did as much or more for overall performance as the extra horses.

.............and this is it !

Deano does the car still exist?
 

yes,I have kept a few of the options from it, but the car has been resto'd by a local Capri collector, and is just about completed as far as I know.
Its had alot spent on it, more than I could afford when I was younger anyhow.
Funny, I checked the service book the other day, and the car was sold new here in Geelong, and it's spent all of its life within about 50k radius.
 

Deano, I would love to know the serial no of this car. Its one of the capitalised cars and i would also be interested to know the date of its sale to the first owner,
                                                 cheers, Ron.

Hi Ron, will get the OM out again.
It was sold to an engineering firm in North Shore (Geelong).
Will Pm the s/n to you and further details.

Hey Deano, don't keep us all in suspense, these 11 165BHP 'Specials' chassis numbers have already been published on this forum and the specific one that you are referring to must be one of either 32747, 33192, 33193 or 33914, so which one is it, please? Also, what colour was it? Thanks in advance. Terry

My guess is 32747.

Clarification of the quoted 165BHP 'Specials'!
 
Here's some information which clarifies the quoted 165BHP version of the 'Specials', as taken directly from the November, 1973, updated version of the Ford Australia, Capri Parts Catalogue, 1969/-, Cat 122C.
 
I have cut and pasted the relevant sections that include the coded '165BHP' parts, which includes, the Engine Block, 722M, the Cylinder Assembly, 722M, the later 72 issued re-profiled Camshaft to fit the 722M Block and the 72EG upgraded Gearbox.
 
NOTE: The standard V6 Engine used in our Australian assembled Capri's was the earlier 702F Block.
 
Referred for your information,
