ONE OF THE ORIGINAL BASIL GREEN  "PERANA" CONVERSION
IS FEATURED BELOW

The part painted black is a piece of sheet metal
fitted by Ford to strengthen the Front Shocks
This is a Basil Green Original "Perana". You can see the strengthened Shock Plates and that the radiator is flush with the front of the car. The battery has been moved to the boot for extra space and cooling.

Stephen Brookstein
Zwartkops Race track David Piper International
V6 with Cressida 5 Speed Gearbox
Stephen has done all his own work converting this car to a racing Capri V6.Adding the Cressida box to the V6 was a little tricky to say the least, in the overall race I got 14th for the first heat and 15 for the second, not too Bad for a rookie

Gareth Tarr Own Conversion to V8
Car was originally a 1600 L. Now running a 302 Windsor motor built to Basil Green spec with a 4 speed top loader gearbox. Car still running 3 litre GT capri diff. Brakes up-rated to Saphire Ghia disks all round with an up-rated brake booster to make braking easier. Front suspension has been reworked with fully adjustable Bilstein shocks and springs. As for the rest of the car I have kept it as original as possible except for the wheels as I could not get the 13" rims over the new disc brakes. Another feature added though is electric windows.
