I bought your friends signal green MK2 and with a friend we restored it. It was a 3 litre S Manual. No it was not one of the motor show cars. It was imported in the 70's by Laurie Nelson and was the company car of his business partner Clint Draper. Clint sold it in the 80s and it went to SA. When we got the car it was quite obvious it had not been driven for some time and had been stored outside on an open carport/annexe. Still, it came up very well just fought us every inch of the way as all the underside fittings were rusted. The car lives in outer Melbourne now and the owner loves it. Annoyingly since selling it, the 3 litre S cars gained popularirty in the UK and would probably fetch double what I sold it for over there
Capri The car I always promised myself
