Hahaha. What I meant was I don't recall seeing any on the road. I saw the pics - even my eyes aren't that bad (yet).

Ah! Gotcha! I've never seen a rag top MK II or III but I had a drive of a MK I ( thinking about it, it was 30 yrs ago  :o :o ...... I was at Whale Island because Fearless & Insipid were both at the Falklands .... how time flies  ??? ??? ??? ???) It made a better conversion really because it originally had a boot.  :y :y

the Capri was done by a company in Blackpool called top-hat . they did about 12 conversions and this one was the only 3lt manual ghia they did . the engine went bang on the M56 so fitted a rs3.1 in to it  :)

Bit of a Rover nut myself  ::) had a few SD1's - a cracking motor but poor quality build - along with P4's P5's and of course the P6  8) I currently still run a 75 Tourer 2.5 - BMW throw unlimited money at the 75 which Rover was not used too, so a cracking motor but was prone to engine failure in the 1.8 :(  but at the end of the day, I love my Omega  :y
