New front wing? Maybe they just didn't bother to stripe them at all, front wings probably classed as "consumables in service" on one of those 3-litres.

 

Note 2 different styles of alloys available on the Mk2 Cappa S (and Ghia) around 1975 - 76.

That'll teach Anne to stink the Palace yard up with horse shit.   I've just dumped a Regimental Reunion curry out of my guts....

Are these the two types of Capri alloy?

PVR520R registered June 1977 certainly seems to have the later type.

Not as clear cut as that. Capris moved production in August/September 1976 from Halewood to Cologne at which point the S gained the chin spoiler and Cadiz stripey seat fabric. Father Bluejeans had a Jade green Halewood 2000S VAA875R, no chin spoiler, Crapi L type black seat trim - but with the later type 'loys.  He did fit a chin spoiler, two piece thing made from gap plastic, sprayed with Holts Duplicolour rattle cans. Looked okay as well.

^^ Jade Mk2 S sounds tasty, any old pics?

Around 1976 you could still also have a S with the same 4-spokes as the Mk1 RS2000, (different to later RS 4-spokes, and different again to Laser alloys).
