3500s, quality, that mate. Not just the humdrum 3500! My dad had a J Reg 2000 TC when I was a very young child. I was gutted when it made way for his S Reg MK2 Capri ......1.6L! Even back in the late 70s as a child the Capri seemed shite. Reliable as a wood burning stove, though, to be fair. At that time my brother-in-law, then my sister's boyfriend had a succession of RS 1800, RS Mexico MK2 and several RS 2000 Mk2s. They seemed really fast and flash at the time!
