I thought the same, Roy. I had the Capri version in The late 60s. When they first came out they reminded me of the American Ford Galaxie of the time, and had that double curve windscreen and flat fins. The car was a bit neglected when I saw it sitting in someone's front garden. When I asked about it, the fellow said "you can have it for 50 Quid and there's a spare engine in the boot - no MOT"!!
I got it and cleaned up, it was in surprisingly good order. I did what would be called a 'resto-mod' on it. Brand new Crossflow 1600, Ro-style wheels plus completely resprayed it Fiesta Red - it came in turquoise/white, typical '50/60s colours.
Wish I still had it.
