banger134 ◊ 2010-02-11 16:04	Ford Capri Mk1
electra225 ◊ 2010-02-11 16:25	Not a Capri, even if the shape is a bit similar. I vote for an Holden or another Aussie car built by an American big corporation subsidiare in Australia.
rjluna2 ◊ 2010-02-11 17:02	Not the Japanese version?
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2010-02-11 17:17	This is in Indonesia, not Japan.
Ingo ◊ 2010-02-11 18:34	Why not Capri I? Shape of side windows, position of door handles frontscreen an the shape of the fender are very Capri-ish. And the Sicke (sorry, I cannot find an English translation) alomg the side seems to be there, too.
banger134 ◊ 2010-02-11 19:01	Defently Mk1 capri shape of window the door handles and the hocky stick coach line are all capri
Sunbar ◊ 2010-02-11 20:10	Although it may look similar to a Capri Mk.I the handle and the plenum vents are in the wrong position. Definitely not a Capri Mk.I (as electra225 said).
banger134 ◊ 2010-02-11 22:09	Its even got preface lift mk1 capri tail lights
electra225 ◊ 2010-02-11 22:54	Could it be either an Holden Torana coupé, or a modified ford Maverick, or something else similar? -- Last edit: 2010-02-11 22:55:29
valiant1962 ◊ 2010-02-12 06:45	Not anything Australia that I recognise - what about Opel
banger134 ◊ 2010-02-12 15:45	Not a maverick as rear window is the wrong shape
electra225 ◊ 2010-02-12 17:27	I know very well Opels and I exclude them. The rear side window could be that of a Vauxhall Firenza coupé, but not the rest of the car...! What about a Chrysler product from Australia or New Zealand ? -- Last edit: 2010-02-12 17:29:48
banger134 ◊ 2010-02-12 17:58	Window is wrong shape to be firenza its a capri
electra225 ◊ 2010-02-12 18:12	I eventually came to the idea that this could a highly modified Ford Capri II (and not MkI). The shape of the line connecting the rear window, the roof and the rear fender is that (and not the Mk I version's one), I think...The windscreen is Capri, too.
banger134 ◊ 2010-02-12 19:25	Shape of door is wrong for a mk2 capri its a mk1 capri the door handles and coach line confirm this it also has pre face lift tail lights
electra225 ◊ 2010-02-13 12:44	I only want to point out that the rear fender isn't that of a Mk1 Capri !
banger134 ◊ 2010-02-13 17:08	The rear fenders / wings have been modifide as have the front wings

Ingo ◊ 2010-02-13 19:46	electra225 wrote I only want to point out that the rear fender isn't that of a Mk1 Capri ! But many -the not modified- other parts are really Capri I-like. Side windows, shape of body and frontscreen, etc. I point out again, that for me it's for very sure a Ford Capri I.
929V6 ◊ 2010-02-14 01:23	It can be anything...but not a Capri. Compare the distance between the front door and the front wheel arch: http://motorfull.com/files/2008/03/ford-capri-1969.jpg . And I don't think someone would change the position of the fuel filler door...
Sunbar ◊ 2010-02-14 11:34	More differences... Side glass is flat compared to the Capri's curved side windows. The 'B' Pillar looks wrong to me, its too upright for any Capri. There is also a small triangular area in the door glass at the base of the door 'A' pillar not found on any Capri.
dsl ◊ 2010-07-25 22:25	The Australian Valiants which were briefly sold in UK in mid-1970s were much wider in appearance - this is a narrow car with wide body "sculpting" - see axle width in main picture. As a newcomer to this debate, I'm convinced by Mk1 Capri with lots of papier mache. To disguise the hockey stick moulding successfully would mean huge dollops of the stuff - see the last but one thumb to show how much width was added. Final thumb shows the wreck afterwards with exposed metal - just a sad Capri. Fuel filler easy enough with proper sealing - insert a new length of pipe into the old C-pillar position and extend through the added material to a new position on the bodywork. Basically, if you set out to make a Mk1 Capri unidentifiable, they've done everything needed apart from change the window outlines - and largely succeeded given the responses above.
Sunbar ◊ 2010-07-26 10:51	As I've said before, I'm convinced its not a Mk.I Capri having owned one in the past. The drip rail in the roof continues down the 'A' pillar. The Mk.I Capri's stopped by running into the top of the windscreen. Modifying this would be expensive and pointless. The windscreen is the wrong shape plus the other points I mentioned before... The handle and the plenum vents are in the wrong position. Side glass is flat compared to the Capri's curved side windows. The 'B' Pillar looks wrong to me, its too upright for any Capri. There is also a small triangular area in the door glass at the base of the door 'A' pillar not found on any Capri.
Ingo ◊ 2010-08-23 18:32	What's up, dear gentlemen around? Can we finally find a solution?
Sandie ◊ 2010-08-23 18:36	I'd vote Capri but maybe Mk2. I saw an old Capri yesterday. They are rare these days and from the horrible clattering the example I saw made on start up it's a miracle that this one was still allowed on the road!
Ingo ◊ 2010-08-23 18:37	I'm still for Capri, but only for the MKI
