Hi everyone,Just a quick note to introduce our latest member Daryl. Some of you may have met Daryl before at the All Ford Day (I think he parked his car next to Jenny’s 1600 GT)
Daryl is looking forward to meeting some more of us "Capri nuts"at the next cruise scheduled for some time in October '08.
His Capri is an original V8 Perana from South Africa, I believe there were approximately 500 of these built and probably very few left, there were also 30 V6 versions built which donned the Perana badge!! They came in 2 colours that I know off – Yellow (as shown above) and Peri Peri Red – please feel free to correct me on any of this information!!
For the real petrol heads out there, here are the specifics on Daryl's Capri :
It has the original 302w, 4 speed toploader and borg warner lsd diff. He is currently rebuilding the original block with: Forged pistons, 'H' beam rods, Aluminium Heads, Duel plane mainifold with 650 double pumper carby and headers.
Regards,
Paul
