Capri's - Mark One

Does anyone know of a driver who races Mark One Capri's - I'd love to watch that.

Francesca.

I know of at least three or four. David Thomas is possibly the best exponent and if you were at Mallory Park today you would have seen him in action.

I suggest you go to links and look at the Classic Saloon Car Club GB website, or my website for the calendar. Next is Lydden Hill 18th June followed by Thruxton 3rd July.

I will be at Thruxton so why not come and say hello?

BTW. I race a Mk3 Capri. http://ten-tenths.accelerator.org/ubb/wink.gif

A fellow in Queensland is currently building a Mk I Capri to race in our Historic Touring Car Championship. The car is nearly finished and will make its debut later this year.

This one is an ex Lauda car from the ETC (1974). Its in Australia. http://ten-tenths.accelerator.org/ubb/wink.gif

Hmmm. It seems my web****e host is taking advantage. Never mind Mallett RACING.co.uk coming to an ISP near you soon.;)

Ooooh - that's NICE!
Anyone for a pilgrimage to Oz? http://ten-tenths.accelerator.org/ubb/smile.gif

If someone comes up with the £6k I could race at Mount Panorama. http://ten-tenths.accelerator.org/ubb/wink.gif

Any offers?

i will in return for £6K. http://ten-tenths.accelerator.org/ubb/wink.gif

I could lend you a tenner if you promise to get me free tickets http://ten-tenths.accelerator.org/ubb/smile.gif

Peter,
Please explain the £6K to race at the Mount.

Would be one hell of a long weekend!

...sounds good....are you racing at all that weekend Peter?

Yep.

I'm entered in my Mk3 Capri in the Group 1 Touring Cars Race.

Come and say hi if you find yourself in the Paddock.;)

Likewise my red RX7 #51 should be in the vacinity of Pete's Capri...at least in the Paddock...

As Pete says; come and say hello, we'll be close to the CSCC Bus which is a 30ft shoe box with white upper and red lower colour scheme.

A Millers Oil Awning!!!!;)

Sadly, Bathurst in March 2001 never happened. :(

However, the chap building a Mk 1 Capri 3.0 V6 did get his car finished for the annual Historic race meeting. He is now building a similar car with 1600 Kent power for his wife to race.

See these two Mk 1's.

Phil Rhodes managed to park his blue one it the side of a Jag at Cadwell.
