why has this alleged 1974 car NO exterior Mirrors or Hi-Back Seats ????
Because it was made in the UK to UK reg's.

A genuine matching numbers May, 1970 GT/V6, mmm.
Different colour paint, different colour interior trim, deleted hood pins replaced with later version push and twist type, sports wheels not standard, should be Contessa's and no photo's of the ID Plate, the engine number nor the chassis number to verify its matching number status. Not a genuine matching numbers vehicle by my standards and knowledge!
Cheers, Terry

It does look like a nice car and of course there is lots to think about and everything has its price. Those super roos made me look twice heh heh. Easy fix.

I think his ad is fair. To me genuine means genuine V6, as opposed to converted 1600 and he's not claiming that it's original. He's made it obvious that paint and trim have been changed. People bidding would surely ask for photos of the numbers and plate before they bid so that's not an issue.
Sure it's not original but it looks to be a genuine V6 and the mods are period correct.
The original unmolested one on carsales with flared guards, well that's a different story.

Interesting that its Nov 72 but has oval port timing cover and inlet manifold. Must have only just missed out on the upgrade. Both nice cars so will be interesting to see what they get, especially auto vs manual price. I would really like to have an auto one day.

There were only 11 Capri's fitted with the uprated 'D' port heads and they were not all 11/72 builds, some are dated back to 8/72 and 9/72.

Just a reminder for those still using the Gumtree platform. I ran a wanted ad for some parts over the weekend, I've had alot of luck getting parts this way but theres always an element of danger to it. This one stood out as a warning. The guy contacted me via phone, polite and chatty, then sent some pics of the item to my email. At this point I checked his number here https://www.numberlookup.com.au/Theres a long list of complaints. I then double checked the screen shot pics he sent me with google images and guess what, he ripped them straight from the net  I strung him along requesting a postage estimate and he voice called me with a quote and his bank details this morning, I strung him along a little further then, shall we say, ended the game. So if get a call from Steven Phelps on 0484697368 Beware. If anyones had the same experience with any other of these muppets, post the details for the sake of others in the car community.

That criminal Stephen Phelps tried it on with me only a few weeks ago exactly as you described, as I looked up his p/n on the website as you described, and decided to see how much info I could get, by using his bank account to find more about him.
Knowing my bank wouldnt pay him for 24 hours, I paid him the $900 he was dreaming he was going to get so as to get a Bank receipt with more info. I rang my bank before the 24 hrs was up and "STOPPED" payment..... $900 credited back.
I passed all info on to Frankston Police and Detectives, AND "ScamWatch", AND his Bank, AND Gumtree.
The first sms he contacted me with his address, I knew something was wrong, as the Town and State and Postcode were thousands of kms apart ! What a loser! Couldn't even get "first base" right !
If we all report these low life scum in as may forums as possible, someday someone will fix him but good, or at least prevent one of us from being defrauded/scammed.
I'll publish his alleged "wife's" name when I find it ........ Probably an alias anyway

thanks for the heads up boys, well done to you both.
I think i'll just stick to selling stuff to forum members when the time comes for the cleanup.
