If original, has unusual mix of details. Black rear panel was normally GT only as part of the R pack, but GT almost always had rostyles, black grille and fogs. Vinyl roof was 70+ option, chrome window trim and wheel rings was usually XL, which at this stage meant X and L option packs rather than a definite model. So a non-GT with X, L, and R packs. |

Mine was a 1969 Capri 1600XL, in red, those faux grilles and the wheel trims are an exact match, the clincher would be a view of the dashboard, the GT had extra clocks. The second Capri I had was a 1974 Daytona Yellow Mk 1 facelift, but whereas the first one cost me £625 at less than a year old, the second one was £70 and well worn. (I had got married in the interim, and we had our daughter by the time I bought the Yellow Peril.) It went and I bought my Cortina Mk V estate JVT 586V, dark blue with light blue trim, 2.0 GL, a nice car. -- Last edit: 2020-03-18 22:49:35 |

I had a 1970 Capri 1600GT XLR for about 4 years, and the quality was terrible even for the 1970s, engine wear, clutch cables regularly breaking, trim falling off and body rot. I seem to remember the front turn indicator lenses were clear with coloured bulbs? At the same time I bought mine from the main dealer they were trying to sell a Capri 3000 in red with completely base trim spec. It was a cancelled order as a new car. The only non-standard feature was, that instead of vinyl the roof was painted gloss black, I guess by the dealership in the hope of shifting it. |
