Average Petrol Consumption = 24 Mpg at 70 Miles an hour Tank Capacity 45 Litres = 350 Km at 120 Km/h .... 8.75 Km per Litre BASIL GREEN MOTORS: VAN REBEEK ST EDENVALE. SOUTH AFRICA The ? marks are mine as I have my doubts at to what Basil Green would allow the public to know in 1971. Why I know this is, because I bought the first Capri Perana from Grosvenor Motors in 1970 the BG number was BG013. Unfortunately I sold it when I came to live in England for two years. Ronnie tried all sorts of fans to reduce the heat build up in traffic, where the car would actually boil. He eventually had it put in a wind tunnel and the little piece of metal sticking up off the radiator altered the entire air flow under the bonnet keeping the car a lot cooler. Unfortunately everyone who bought one with this addition took it off, thinking it was to stop your tie from being caught by the fan. |
