Just south west of here. The new keeper appears in a pic on P145 of latest (Oct) Octane.

That Escort on ebay has to be a **** take....
Am 'watching' in case! Note it doesn't say that the shell is the original TC one, but from the heater bubble it is an early version. Chassis prefix on the V5 is 'BB', which would be correct first two letters (Halewood).

Think Capri is likely Evergreen metallic. Yes, Jade was lovely!

Purple velvet watzat? You mean "aubergine" which started with the Capri color code R may be.

Aubergine was non metallic and appeared on Cortina 1600E initially, from memory? Purple Velvet was metallic Escort 1300E colour, here-

Anorak fact- the 1300E was believe it or not assembled in the AVO facility, alongside the RS and Mexico versions. Nice to see that mentioned in the article.... (And of course the Capri RS3100 was also built there
)
