    Visited the car in the shop last week. Progress is being made. No new surprises since the last visit. The first of the 2 badly weather-checked rubber-like bumpers has been prepped, and looks good, ready for paint.

    I did, yes. All too typical of where these cars have gone. Consider that they sold ~120k Capris here in the US—in 1972 alone. The entire Mk1 run from '70-74 was almost 400k cars in the US. It looks like the remaining cars are a very small percentage, probably low single digits, say 3-5%.

    It’s the entry level 1.3 litres as my grandfather used to say about underpowered cars “ it couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding” !


    I remember my first car 73 ( L suffix had British licence plate YUP435L, Daytona yellow with black vinyl roof and black vinyl interior; it had an antenna in front wing ( fender) whereas this doesn’t. I worked as a tyre fitter to earn money while studying and managed to get a set of wider wheels from my boss free trade — they had come off some customer’s car.
    I’m pretty sure I have the same Ford branded radio ( possibly a Blaupunkt) with those knobs and a Ford manual aerial, latter still in packaging
