[quote IH1921MBATI7NWC8] I have also recently bought a low mileage Ford Capri. A very interesting history of this Italian influenced, Australian made, Japanese mechanical and USA exported car. They are under appreciated but I reckon that will change and (most importantly) I have always liked them. [/quote] I've always liked the Aussie Capri, but I do remember when they were on all those current affairs shows of the early '90s with leaking hoods and other problems. In about 1996, I walked into a Lincoln-Mercury dealer somewhere in the US in my scrounge for literature. The sales guy heard my accent and commented they sold heaps under the Mercury nameplate, but they all came back with untold problems. He did take pity on me though and loaded me up with a boot load of Lincoln brochures.....
