The brakes on the Perana were V6 but calipers reversed due to crossmember being reversed. They just had updated pads installed. The rear diff is a Borg Warner which had the same V6 drums fitted ( mines been changed to disks though). So same master and booster. Perana were known for going fast and not for stopping fast the brakes should be upgraded and I might do that and keep parts to send back to original if required.

You're right Deano.  What madness to spend hours setting up an account to buy something "unreal", not be able to spend it, and have to wait hours to process its sale when the "**** hits the fan".
 
Getting back to "cars as investments", I had a mob of mates swearing theyd pay me MORE than double the going rate for a V6 Capri as soon as I bought mine 4 years ago. One of them actually wrote me out a cheque which got me thinking: "I DID BUY THIS TO FLIP IT" but just that drive from Ballarat to Mt Eliza made me fall in love with
"Wild Stephanie Plum" (New Jersey Bonds-woman played by Kathy Heigl) as I call my Wild Plum Capri !
 
It would have to be Bill Gates type money before I'd sell ANY of my 19 cars
 
So yes,  any RARE car is WISE INVESMENT and a Toy to Enjoy while we want to enjoy them; then sell when it's time.
 

If you want to look at it’s full story you can visit the Facebook page of it here under Keith’s house of Capris. Or African Muscle car forum and search term Another yellow Perana or Capri Perana V8. Both topics are concentrating on Peranas but mostly on this one. I must thank many in South Africa for giving me info on it for without it I would be always questioning its authenticity they have also helped me help others sorting their cars out. It’s numbers don’t match as it has a BG 171 motor from another Perana but it’s body is definitely an original Perana. African Muscle cars is a great forum but it has dropped off as all forums seem to nowadays. Please visit though and enjoy. Some of their cars astound me. Keith.

I’m not a huge fan of Facebook my wife is so that’s where she puts photos. So much easier to put pics up. Now I have an IPhone X I can’t put up any new pictures to this forum.
