Capri - Waterlogged

 

This article & photo appeared in the Brisbane Courier Mail on Saturday(25 Jan). It recalls the record flood in Brisbane in January, 1974. I have previously seen parts of this photo but not the complete shot and did not know the story behind it. The photographer was Ted Holliday who walked along a nearby railway bridge in Toowong to take the picture looking down Slyvan Rd, Toowong towards Coronation Drive - the Regatta Hotel is the end building on the right.
The Capri looks pretty sad & is covered in silt. I suggest, by the stripes running over the fuel cap, that it is a 1969 Capri GT. (click on the photo)
I wonder what happened to it but I guess it ended up in Capri heaven soon after this.
