I guess CC had a few shells left over that didn't get turned into race cars, as the shells didn't have any Ford vin no.'s. So they made them into road cars numbering them FC001-006. They were known as Spa-Francorchamps Capri's as they were sold to comemmorate the wins at Spa.
So quite a rare car which is why it's a shame FC003 was re-shelled into a Laser 4-pot shell and the Neil Brown engine was rebuilt by Specialised Engines and a new Fibresports X-pack kit was fitted
Any provenance it may of had as an original CC car is gone, it's now just a Laser with an X-pack fitted, and looking like a very expensive one at that.

Yes Peter they are nice, only trouble is I keep too many
Can't wait for the Minichamps 1/18 scale RS2.6 that won the Spa 24h in 1971, should be out soon.
