      Yes that is the one. Mark's Capri probably older he had it in about 1984 but not brand new. All one tone green.

      Just like this. Very much a "bird" car.

        Had a good few Vauxhalls myself, and i can still remember my old Mk2 Cavalier SRI. Now that was a beast, still a 1.8 but the engine was from a rally Nova. Lets just say the police was very very nice at 2 o'clock in the morning and me doing 132mph, the cop couldn't believe the speed of an old Vax and let me go with a warning.

        Have fun, John
