Capri - Perana Capri

Really interesting feature in the latest  Unique Cars (Australian Issue 368) about the Basil Green Capri Peranas. There are also stories about a Cortina Perana and a Granada Perana.
The engine bays look a bit different to my 1600 Kent motor. I suppose it doesn't hurt to dream!!

Sorry, but the photo did not scan very well.

Capri - Goodna RSL Car Show

I have been away for a few days, hence no blogs.
On Sunday, I had a free morning so I decided to visit the Goodna RSL Car Show (near Ipswich). This has become an annual event and attracts quite a few monetary prizes ranging from $250 to $1000. The show is held as part of the Jacaranda Festival (the Jacarandas are in full bloom in the background of some of the photos) and there are a host of other attractions on the ground. This show attracts an eclectic mix of cars ranging from full blown show machines to original classics. The prize money is spread across all these categories.
I drove my green Capri and parked between a lovely slightly modified deep blue E type Jaguar and a red Fiat Bambino. There was another V6 Capri, a swag of convertible Capris, a very original Escort Rally Pack and an original Escort rally car - to mention just a few of the Fords.
Here is few photos from the day.
