Capri II 2.0S JPS
What is your favourite car of all time?
By early 1975 industry trends and the Carpi's ego was steered to a more sporting nature and the Capri S GT appeared codenamed midnight. This model was blanketed in sensual black paintwork and featured gold coach-lining to its sides as well as bonnet and grille edges: a colour scheme borrowed, from the distinctive and successful John Player Special Formula 1 Lotus team cars. Black bumpers, headlining, door handles, door mirrors, window mouldings and exhaust pipe(s) continued the theme, whilst gold badging, seat panels and spayed alloy wheels (of varying designs) added the finishing touches. The Capri IIs generally soft suspension benefited from harder settings with luxuries such as tinted glass, twin rear view mirrors, halogen headlamps and rear wash-wipe, making the 1.6S, 2.0S, and 3.0S desirable sporting packages. The GT designation was dropped early on in S history and later models received a generous air-dam spoiler and less striping.
