Only a few of the one million Mk1s produced survive in serviceable condition
today.
Here are a few that didn't quite make it.

This vista orange special is one of five cars rotting away in a farmers field in deepest Somerset |
|

Another view of the vista orange special. Minus wheel and its vinyl roof. |

Another car in the Somerset "graveyard. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Somerset again - but this car did yield some useful spares. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This one has to be the most unusual tractor wheel support. Again Somerset. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes they really are tractor wheels - and weigh a ton! |
|

|
The undergrowth seems to be coming through the wings on this final car in Somerset. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To Hertfordshire - and I have to confess this is one of my spares vehicles! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Herts again and the second of my spares cars. It really was too far gone to save - honest. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Took me half an hour to uncover the car from the under and over growth and salvage a gear stick for a club member. |

Supplied by the Capri Mk2 Register, this picture shows a Special that's seen better days. |

Not looking too Special today. |
