Correct Whools, tho I was still a little tacker in the 70s, my big brother traded his MGA for a twincam (a purple one) the only one that color in Adelaide. He said each week usually Friday the lotus broke something and he spent all weekend fixing it! His mate bought a yellow lotus and quickly swapped it out for a pinto.., much more reliable and fun to drive too.. It seems Fords late hindsight to bring in the rs model when it should have been released as per rest of the common world in the early 70s!

Love that Capri...
Heres another one, same era as the twink just a little more affordable. Interesting it has the GT-L wood dash, GT console, over riders and the early GT chrome on the wheel arches. Would be an great entry level car to the world of small Fords.

Too much money - $700 maybe

1/2 of that if you'd seen it in person.
Totally rusted and gutted.

If anyone noticed the grey primed Capri on EBay that just went off with sunroof in prestons NSW it didn't hit reserve for $12900 dollars. That is crazy for a non matching numbers V6 Auto that needs overhaul. Sorry I have no idea how to post EBay links unless someone can finally tell me how to do that.

I was interested with the sunroof. More problems than their worth. Asked for more detailed photos and never got any. The weird thing was the chassis number and engine number were off by just one number. Almost like the factory new they stuffed the motor and whacked the the next one in. Only the official paperwork from ford would tell us that and to me that would make it a very unique numbers matching car.

Almost like the one uprated customer special that was a customer complaint. Anyone know where that one is.
