Mmmmm is that Toledo Burnt Grey in colour? I had a Rover P6 series 1 in that colour. Weird colour but I liked it. 

Sienna Brown I reckon. I had a 1300 that colour. With a beige vinyl roof and tan interior. Much brown. In fact my current 1300s bonnet is Sienna Brown under the black paint.

This is a spitter of one owned by rarely-seen-now shiter @r.welfare a few years back!!! I think his was an injection one though so probably not the same one. (Valuable information for you there, well worth posting)

Good memory, same colour, I reckon that was a good 14 years ago!  (EDIT: it was, bought Sep ‘05, sold Apr ‘06).  It was a time of low scrap value so I paid Shadow money for it.  Quite the sleeper with the Astra GTE engine.  Got scrapped after I sold it.

‘Like’ for all but the last bit.

No MOT, no number plates, no feedback.  Nice seats though and currently £360.

I don’t remember GTS spec: sounds like middling trim and biggish engine?

IIRC the trim levels for the Supercinq were:

TC (later campus) with 850cc or 1108cc in the Campus

TL with 1108cc

GTL with 1108cc

GTS with 1398cc

Automatic with 1398cc

GTX with 1721cc

Monaco with 1398cc (Auto) or 1721cc (Manual)

GT Turbo with 1398cc

How did anyone think there was money to be made making a Capri worse in every way.

Just needs the right engine and a more sutble grill.  I'll get my coat.

Theyre barmy those JBA Javelin things. Looks like a Capri soft top, but theyre a steel tubular chassis with fibreglass 'capri-like' panels on the outside!!!

I might be wrong but I think they got into hot water with Ford about it, the Capri was still in production at the time and here's someone making a shite GRP 'replica' of one their current products.

That makes it even more absurd. So much effort and no-one thought to question what they were trying to achieve.
