Capri Club Run

Well, we had two Capris!

The Capri Club had its first run for the year late in February to Montville in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Unfortunately, the weather leading up to the weekend had been pretty terrible but Sunday turned out to be a really good day. However, we had a small turn out & two, really nice Capris. I am a bit spoilt these days & find non air conditioned cars in the Queensland summer a bit of a hardship, so the Capris stayed at home & I took my Subaru. It is a good route to take for a Sunday drive with good roads, some hills & bends & nice countryside. Maybe, I need to install air conditioning in one of my Capris!

CAPRI PRIZES - 1972


This competition was advertised in the Australian Women's Weekly on 17 May 1972. Perhaps there were a few extra Capris around at the time.
