I'm in the car today because it's a Yorkshire summer....and I'm with the family. Stopped at the NY500 cafe on the road between Malton and Pickering.
It's a big old spot designed for vehicle meets with stacks of parking, big cafe with loads of memorabilia, signs, and classic vehicles for sale and on display including (at the moment) a MK1 Capri, 99's Triumph Trident streetfighter, GS..Suzuki thingy, Metro Rally car BSA Gold Star. Good spot to stop and have a cup of tea and a butty. Lots of outdoor tables too - pity today was so chilly!

Thats not any old Capri but an rs 3100

I take it that's a special/ sport version,? Pretty unusual colourandvwith tiny wheels!

Yes to special, in tbat they were homologation issue often. Production based race series dictated limited modifications to factory production line vehicles and usually a minimum number available for public sale. These type of "special" vehicles were the result, with enhanced elements that would be useful to racing modifications, whether used on road vehicle or not.
Quite valuable now as they are the desirable limited run specification. Probably in the region of £50,000 upward for one of those if genuine manufacture with traceable records etc.
13" wheels do look quite small now against general modern stuff. F1 was still on 13" until 2021 though, with small rim and big tire being considerably lighter than the current 18" they've moved to.

Sounds like a good ride out destination up there too.

Its a lovely area to visit - Wolds from Beverley up to Malton, then the North York Moors above Pickering....and turn right anywhere for the beach!
