Been offered an RS
Moschops:
Wow...If I'm right the Capri is a very rare RS2600...... :happy2:
Like rocking horse pooh on plastic roses.... :pomppomp:
tony_danza:
It is indeed an RS2600, the MKII is a genuine Zakspeed one too. MKI's are BDAs and the projects will be twin cammed and raced in the 300k this year. All get used on the Ring regularly.
I don't know about fugly, Robin, they're a bit too non-descript to be anything other than just plain. There wasn't much in the way of beauty in the 70's coming out of England unless it was a sports car, everything was drawn with a ruler!

....That's right :happy2:. And being a driver in the 1970's I don't have fond memories of the automotive styling of the day, so I'm somewhat subjective in my view!
"Plain" is a good descriptor. 'Plain Jane' never did much for me.
I appreciate the modified race ones more though and have very fond memories of regularly seeing Jim Clark @ Silverstone in a Lotus Cortina dicing with Dan Gurney in a big 7-litre Ford Galaxy.. Or was that even earlier!?
tony_danza:
Ahh, the old Touring cars?? - UK vs the Yanks.
Minis, Escorts and Cortinas dicing with Mustangs, Camaros and Galaxies. I love the old footage of that era, wish I could have seen some.
You'd love the Gold Cup at Oulton, think Goodwood does circuit racing.
Hedge:
I think they cover that era in the Goodwood Revival.
