I would love a 2-door Mk3 and fit a 302 V8.

A lot of British based models were made for the South African market and fitted with yank v8s. Ford made a Capri ,think it was called Perana, fitted with smallblock Ford. Vauxhall did some with GM v8s naturally.

Did you spot a badge again!
Well done!
It has such a catchy name I'm surprised people were not queueing up for them. Its an OSI 20m ts.
Sexy Italian body, ford running gear. V4 I believe.
All show, no go. They should have backed up those looks with a 289 to make a sweet sporty Coupe

Do the Mafia drive these in the Italian job?
