tore-40 ◊ 2017-07-18 18:54	The 'Brooklands' is just a reference to the colour, they were all delivered in 'Brooklands Green'. Should that really be a part of the name? Sold as Capri 280 -- Last edit: 2017-07-18 18:57:21
dsl ◊ 2017-07-18 19:02	Yes. Brooklands was part of the name as well as the colour reference. eg one of many google hits.
tore-40 ◊ 2017-07-18 19:16	I still think it is more a nickname it got later (list as 'Brooklands') than used in marketing (list as Brooklands) Even Wikipedia calls it Capri 280
