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.

Incidentally at that Kit car show my mate and I decided to build a Robin Hood 2B...

And how did that turn out, Steve? ?

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

Solid Gold Shite.

Unloved by the buying public of 1981.  Unwanted by most Maxi Fans of 2020.  Naturally, I love these Maxi 2s.  And look!

Glorious.

 

Come on guys.  Can we get back to this sort of stuff rather than 406s and Veg oil? This is what it's all about!

I have a long-held desire for an A55 /A60, about the only car of that era I have an interest in - the styling is just 'right' somehow and my grandfather had a couple of them back in the 60s, one of which was a brand new Oxford in a slightly bizzare bright pink which I can only assume was very cheap!  I've got some marvellous old cinefilm footage of it somewhere.

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 

Pretty much, except the 1.4 was 1397cc, and the smallest engine in the TC was the 956 - the Supercinq never got the 845.

Is there only a single carb under that mahoosive air cleaner?  That's a bit shite.  (Not in the good way either.)

Woh! I never knew they were made that late. The 60's styling mashed together with 80's plastic trim just should't work but somehow does! I love it! :D

I've always had a soft spot for ancient designs that have been given a desperate facelift on a tiny budget in a last-ditch attempt to keep them saleable.  Hence the Innocenti, and my fondness for late Rovers.
