Ah but it didn't finish, would like to say the Capri did but that was a DNF as well

Although the other works Capri did win the class

This Olympic blue RS3100 awaits a new owner to finish its restoration.

Anyone recognise this 74 RS3100 clone ?
It was converted in 1988 from a square head lamp
( scarce car ) 3000GT
It’s believed to be in the Sth East

Gorgeous and Ultra Scarce Tawny Brown 72 3000GT.

The September 72 on Face Lift 3000GT, got a pair of large rectangular head lights. The more £ expensive GXL got the quad round head lights. Very few 3000GTs were sold.

Anyone recognise this Cologne bodied 3 Litre ?
Looks like it was exported about 30 years ago.

Circa 1970 or 71 Capri GT passes by an unknown Woolworths.

A few 3.0's found whilst looking through my pics, Bromley 86...



and 2 from Uxbridge 86, yellow one still taxed...

I just came across this post, UYC412M was mine at this time. I bought it as standard and added all of the mods. From memory it had a vulcan engine, 390 carb on swaymar inlet, janspeed exhausts and manifold, swaymar steel flywheel and timing gear. I also had swaymar heads with roller rockers but I cant remember if I ever fitted them. The car was lowered had single leaf rs springs and I also put in an LSD although I can't remember which one specifically. I think I had to fit modified half shafts after snapping one!

Ah yes the Swaymar swindle inlet manifold and 390cfm Holley that was too big (mounted the wrong way round) and it metered fuel dreadfully even fitted with metering plate mod kit good pics however

Awesome shot from 1975 in Devon.

The only thing I recall re Swaymars inlet manifold and modified carb, was nothing but praise.....

Sadly not it worked st from stockish motors to well modded , owners often ditched the stock 38dgas carb on mildly tuned motors (stupid) and bigger mods deserved the bank of 3 IDA Weber's nothing in-between
