It's funny how many of them i recognise esp in the origional post...
I know personally the horrid yellow/black bonnet 2.9 one and the lovely white 2.8 turbo very well from my days in the Newbury and Thatcham Capri club and a good few of the others ring a bell form back in the day..
PF chris are those scrapper ones in you post from a yard behind a warehouse in Bristol, iirc i tried to buy some parts of them but i could never get in touch with the owner because apparently he was in the nick for killing somebody and his brother/mate/cousin who had access wasn't allowed to sell anything.....

The Internet, like all tools, if used improperly, can make a complete bo**cks of even the simplest jobs...

Yep - that sounds about right for a Bristol scrap dealer! That particular yard was/is on Hanham Road near Kingwsood (backing onto Douglas Rd Ind Estate) Nice bunch that ran it!  |

 Do like. And only partly because it says Poo on the number plate... ;DAnd this one:  Very basic MkI Capri question: what's the difference between the square- and round-headlight ones? Other than the shape of the headlights....  |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

Nice thread, Steve! Some awesome pictures here!
Rich, the headlamp deal was market and model specific. For example, the UK got the recty lamps on all Mk1s save the GXL and RS3100. And all your Mk2's were rectys too. Mk3s were all quad rounds.
On the other hand, the North American market always got the quad rounds on every Capri delivered, Mk1 and 2. We never got the Mk3.
Continental Europe was mixed, with all models having rectys at first (except the quad-round RS2600), and then slowly evolving to quads for generally feature-rich models.
Oddly, there was a very small run of mainly French and Swiss RS2600s which came with rectys! (This variation is almost unknown to Capri "scholars", but it's right there in the RS parts book.)
The one in my Avatar, which won the Grp2 Div of the 1972 TdeF, being an example of such a rare bear - though if you look closely, mine are not Capri rectys, but actual GT40 rectys, being a Boreham-prepped Capri. And see the Hillman directionals too? Boreham hallmark, that. This pic is on the starter stand at the beginning of the event, Sept 1972.
