free-litre-v6 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
cc capri's

There's a few gaps like CC11/12 and then CC15-20 and also I guess the real grey area; whether or not there actually were more cars built after CC20?

Hi Guys, just got back from the garage where my CT capri is and they have pointed out a few interesting things on the car as follows:-

1) it was red, many of the CC cars were red. ie spice cars
2) it was definately a 1600 shell, must of had a big off, the nearside wing has been replaced, with a 2.8/3.0 inner wing that has a ford fitted top-plate, the offside front looks original, but has had a major repair where it joins the front panel, this inner wing hasn't got a toplate, so its a 1600 inner wing, there are no corner braces.
3) the shell has been seam welded all round with braze another CC trait.
4) possibly the big give away, underneath the strut concentric alloy top mounts, it is stamped out "CC racing developments"

i am not saying it is one but there is quite a few items that seem to be to near the mark! did CC just have bespoke parts made for themselves or were they also sold elsewhere which would explain the top mounts? mark.f.
